upcoming and past events

My past speaking engagements revolved around my employment with the Secret Service. While I thoroughly enjoyed giving presentations in academic settings, I currently focus on my parallel personal story as it pertained to my job and less on the mission of the agency. I learned many tough personal life lessons while employed by the Secret Service. Between funny Secret Service stories and discussions about divorce, depression, eating disorders, athletics, and unemployment, I have a message in resilience and self-awareness, two concepts I didn't fully grasp until I left the Secret Service.
