Keynote Topics

Can you tailor your message to our organization or event theme?

Absolutely. Every audience is unique, so I take time to learn about your organization, event theme, and goals. I tailor my stories, examples, and key takeaways so the presentation feels personal, relevant, and meaningful while staying true to my core message.

Are you available for in-person and virtual events?

Absolutely. I'm available for both in-person and virtual speaking engagements. I'll work with you throughout the planning process to discuss travel, technology needs, accessibility, and any other details so your event runs as smoothly as possible.

Why choose Jeff as your speaker?

Authentic lived experience: Jeff shares lessons shaped by navigating disability, unexpected change, family, faith, advocacy, and professional life—not motivational theory.

A genuine connection: Through honest storytelling, practical lessons, and natural humor, Jeff helps audiences see themselves in his message.

A renewed perspective: Audiences leave encouraged to focus on what they can control, embrace new possibilities, and move forward with purpose.

How long are your presentations?

Most keynote presentations are 45–60 minutes, although I also offer 20–30 minute keynote presentations, breakout sessions, and extended presentations that include audience Q&A. I'm happy to work with you to find the format that best fits your event schedule.

What are your speaking fees and travel requirements?

Speaking fees vary depending on the event location, presentation length, format, and specific needs. Once I learn more about your event, I'll provide a customized quote with all fees and travel requirements clearly outlined. My goal is to make the process simple, transparent, and easy to understand.

What audiovisual and accessibility needs do you have?

My audiovisual needs are generally simple and typically include a wireless microphone and, if presentation slides are used, access to a screen or projector. Because I live with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), I also ask for a step-free route from parking or drop-off to the speaking area, ramp or elevator access to elevated stages, an accessible restroom, and a sturdy bar-height chair with arms nearby. I'll be happy to discuss any accessibility or logistical details during the planning process to help ensure a smooth and successful event.
