New project! TUBBY YOU! Follow my new fitness experience.

I'm not a fitness guy at all.
But the last year has led me down a new and amazing path.
Stress caused me to seek out a physical outlet, and I found FREE WEIGHTS!
What I have learned has been absolutely life changing.
Everything about my life is different.
I am learning and exploring and evolving.
Lifting weights has altered my diet, my mood and my philosophies.

Great visit with SkillsUSA!

Last Thursday I had the opportunity to attend the SkillsUSA regional conference here in Salt Lake City. I was so inspired that I had chills the whole time.
What a fantastic organization!

I've always bristled at the idea that there is only ONE path for our youth, and that the world is a "sink or swim" proposition. There are always new talents that can be discovered and developed. There are always new paths of interest that can change our lives.
SkillsUSA is REALLY WORKING AND SUCCEEDING with our youth!
I saw and met some of the most dynamic and positive young people in the whole world. This is really something you should investigate.
I saw people changing their lives, and making a difference in the lives of others.
What a wonderful day.
I want to thank my good friend Craig Moore for making my visit possible.

Big story telling night in Utah!

This is still in the idea stage, but I'm moving quickly.
This will take place in Utah, initially.
I can easily get a venue.
I need help with advertising and sponsorship.
I need storytellers.
And!
I need input and ideas.
I plan to tape the whole event.

I'm now listed on Speaker Match.

I've joined Speaker Match.

 I really like their services. I hope this new endeavor will help me expand my speaking experience.

I also will be doing promoting of my own speaking engagements, so we'll soon have more to talk about here.

Apart from my speaking career, I've been dealing with the marriage of my sweet daughter, Xochil.

It's a joy to see her start a new life with her dear husband, Tyson, but it's really hard to let her go.

I wish her every success in life, and all the love in the world!
