Bio

My signature motivational keynote presentation, "The Unstoppable Power of Enthusiasm!" is customized to fit a company or organization's conference theme, purpose and core values. Clients include, Southwest Airlines, Disney, HR Southwest, USO, McDonalds and many more.

Growing up inside my father’s small barbershop on the East Side of San Antonio, Texas, I had big dreams of radio, TV and more! It was that vision, education and hard work, along with the encouragement of my parents and mentors that helped me attain my dreams - to become the first male Disney Channel show host; chosen Billboard Magazine’s National Radio Personality of the Year (Twice); receive a Grammy Nomination; inducted in the Texas Radio Hall of Fame and more.

As an inspirational speaker and coach, I have pleasure of helping audiences to re-tune, refresh and re-invigorate the spirit within: enthusiasm. I strive to create the starting point and fire the gun that sends them racing to the finish line!

I've had the honor of delivering the keynote and/or hosting over 5000 events in my career and have entertained on some of America's great radio stations, including KIIS, KMPC, KFI and KRLA in Los Angeles.

As television host of Disney's You and Me, Kid!, I've connected with family audiences worldwide and as a voice artist have given life to countless characters in cartoons, commercials, and movies, including The Jetsons animated TV series.

My book, The Art of Living with Enthusiasm!, is a personal testimony to a life of positive expectation.
