On top of being a professional touring musician, I am an accomplished youth motivational speaker and staunch anti-bullying and autism / disability advocate. I use my experience as a professional performer, rock frontman, and a teacher to engage youth audiences and help transform their outlook on those who may not fit the norm. I also use my experience living with autism myself and working with disabled youth and colleagues to help students build a bridge between themselves and their classmates with special needs. I understand firsthand the power of kindness and connection as a disabled individual, so I teach optimal kindness to youth through real-world practice and storytelling.
