This Massillon, Ohio native is an accomplished educator, trainer, consultant, popular lecturer, and keynote speaker with over 50 years of national and international experience.

Recognized and awarded by the Bureau of PA State Children and Youth Programs as an outstanding motivational presenter, trainer and consultant, he has also been recognized by the Shippensburg University Provost & Dean of the College of Education & Human Services as an exceptionally effective teacher.

We all need each other – in life, no one makes it alone!

You can make a mega difference in the life of a person when you “dare to care…”

Topics Bob Often Presents On…

Bob’s motivational speeches and talks continue to contain an important life lesson: “If I have learned anything …I have learned that it’s not the iffy-ness of life events that matter or the snap shots of life situations…what really matters is the intentional, direction of one’s life in Christ…the ability to get back up after getting knocked down, sticking to it even when it would be easier to just give up and go in another direction, standing up for something right…even when you are standing alone.”

 

The topics he presents on includes things such as:

  • Tough life situations
