Delivering Drama

I have enjoyed tremendous receptions from each of two dramatic "one man plays" I present.  These fun and unique presentations emphasize the power of storytelling in history:

    * The Battle of Trenton: Ten Seconds that Changed the World
    * Black Friday: The Murder of Abraham Lincoln

Opening Minds

I have presented over 150 unique workshops and seminars to diverse audiences of every size and age! Feel free to request a full list of my presentations.

      * Psychobiography: What were the psychological forces that shaped the great men and women of history?  I have created thirty unique workshops answering this question. These fascinating presentations can be tailored to the interest and knowledge level of any audience.  I do not use "psychobabble;" rather I explain the factors that created the lives of famous men and women.  Feel free to request a presentation on any famous person!  Among my most requested subjects:
  • Abraham Lincoln
  • Eleanor Roosevelt
  • John F. Kennedy
  • Martin Luther King
  • Ronald Reagan
  • Theodore Roosevelt
  • Harry Truman
  • Lyndon Johnson
  • Richard Nixon
  • Hilary Clinton

Popular Culture

The history of a people can be understood by their choices of popular culture. Drawing on my broad background in this area, I have helped diverse audiences of teachers, students and community levels see how culture and history impact one another. Below is a sample of some of my best received presentations. Feel free to request a full list of my popular culture workshops or to request a specific topic that best meets your needs!

  • Laughing Through Hard Times: Film And Radio During The Great Depression.

Meeting Your Needs

As a speaker, I can offer a number of different options.  Any of the following alone or in combination may best suite the needs of your teachers.
  • A keynote speech and discussion, with or without breakout sessions at a conference.
