"Ed is a wonderful speaker! He has a powerful message delivered through an engaging and entertaining story-telling technique. Ed teaches emotional intelligence and character education from the heart. The towns of Rocky Hill, CT, Avon, CT and CT Youth Services Association have utilized him as a keynote speaker, an inspirational speaker and a youth leadership development coach on several occasions. He is a great investment in the field of positive youth development and healthy family initiatives!"
L. Stanczyc, Bureau of Family Services
"I have hired Ed five times in the past three years for five different audiences- from youth to adults- as a motivational/keynote speaker. He has unique and superior public speaking skills that engage a wide variety of audiences. Ed provided each audience with concrete ideas on how to work better with youth, how to work better with adults and how to work better with yourself. He is FUN, serious, practical, energetic, motivating, insightful and real. Each audience gave him a standing ovation and he left them wanting more. I can't recommend Ed enough!"
L. Belmarsh, Department of Youth Services
"Ed is a fantastic motivational and inspirational speaker. He has been the kickoff presenter for our fall speaker series, and always sets the bar high. He captures the audience from the moment he steps on stage and keeps them engaged throughout his talk. His positive messages are conveyed through anecdotes, and he is a wonderful storyteller. He is incredibly easy to work with and completely self-reliant. He takes care of all of his arrangements, arrives early, and always delivers high energy performances. I highly recommend him."
M. Jacobsen, University of South Carolina
"Ed was AMAZING!!! This was the first Joint Conference of all the CTE organizations in New York State and his remarks and presentation did exactly what we wanted ... to motivate and create community among the various CTE educators. Ed is warm, insightful, and motivating. He "kicked off" what turned out to be a fabulous conference. He got rave reviews! Thanks for referring Ed!"
M. Iverson, CTE NYS
