Testimonials

“Thanks again for helping to make our day successful and memorable for everyone involved. You created quite a positive buzz from everyone that came in contact with you.”

“10 years at Honeywell and I have never seen our team so excited and energized. Truly tremendous day.”

“I especially enjoyed watching the faces of the children as you shared with them your personal experience with space travel. And thank you so much for sharing with our students how you faced and overcame failure related to your application to become an astronaut. That is such an important lesson for all of us.”

“As a parent of a fourth grader and a teacher at Chesapeake City Elementary School, I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to visit our school and talk with our students. My daughter was so excited to tell me all about your visit with her class. It really inspired her to work hard and follow her dreams!”

“I so enjoyed your inspiring presentation and so did all my students. One of my more difficult boys told me this was the best speaker he has ever heard!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made a difference!”

“Our principal stated it was the best assembly our school had the privilege of hosting. The students were captivated with your presentation and could have visited with you all day asking question after question.”

“Your presentation was amazing and my students were engaged with wide eyes the whole time.”

“Thank you for representing to our students a real life application of drive, focus, and determination.”

“My daughter (3rd grade) screamed out to me after I’d tucked her in bed. I thought something was wrong and rushed in, but instead she was sitting bolt upright and realized she hadn’t told me about the astronaut! She was up another half hour telling me detail after detail until she could finally go to sleep.”

“Our teachers and students alike cannot recall a more exhilarating assembly. Our students talked and continue to talk about you. You have a gift for teaching. No question was belittled. Even when a slightly preposterous question was asked, you answered with full dignity and appropriate elaboration. You understand your audience, and the audience becomes enamored. Our students would have followed you anywhere.”

“You have a fabulous way of explaining things and you were able to keep a group of second graders spellbound for 45 minutes – a feat that is comparable to making it out into space!”
