About Chris Gardner
“I don't use the word perfect very often, but there is truly no better word to use. The high school seniors truly hung on every word Chris spoke. His question and answer session was unlike anything I had seen. All questions were mature, respectful, and relevant to the presentation. Chris said to me that it was the best group of young people he had ever spoken to. The evening presentation was equally impressive!”
