TESTIMONIALS
"An even bigger thank you for visiting our school last week! I have heard nothing but rave reviews from teachers, students and parents regarding your presentations at NHS. Comments like 'his drawings are so cool!' and 'he was so funny!' were heard by students. Teachers noted that you were incredibly inspiring, and had that magical combination of not only being outstanding in what you do, but presenting it to students in an entertaining and engaging way."

"Wow! The school is a 'buzz' with wonderful words of praise concerning your presentations yesterday. Of course everyone is in awe of your artistic ability, but more than that, they loved how you weaved the reading and writing in with the drawing process. Who knew you have to be a 'fashion designer' of sorts for your characters and research your topics so in depth! And the series of steps you have to take to get to the final product! You opened their eyes to a whole new world that is attainable if you think it. We also enjoyed the humor in your program."

"Thanks for visiting Woods Road Elementary School. The kids LOVED you and the staff has had nothing but wonderful things to say about your presentations. We could not have had a better guest!"

"I can't tell you what a great time we all had during your visit! The whole school is buzzing. What makes it even more wonderful is that the teachers and kids from all of the grades you presented to think you are wonderful; often it is the youngers or the olders, but rarely both. Thank you so much for your energy, your knowledge of kids (evident in the way you tweaked your presentations to match their age and developmental level), your obvious enjoyment of children, and, of course, the opportunity to witness your skill and talent first hand. I also appreciate how easy you have been to deal with and how helpful your Web site was as I prepared for your visit. In short, you run a class act!"

"Again, thank-you for the wonderful day!! I heard from many teachers and the children definitely were engaged and that was what I hoped would happen. You had them mesmerized and totally engrossed in what they were doing. I have never seen these children so involved that you could actually hear a 'pin drop'. There were so many kids in a room and it was silent. that speaks so well for you!!! You were great!!"
