This is my signature keynote address in which I tell my inspirational story of overcoming the loss of my farming business and the sale of my beloved Guernsey cows with spoken word, well-timed humor, and the interjection of my original songs, including the one that started it all, Empty Barn.

I take the audience on a journey from milking cows to country music, from heartache to happiness. Along the way, there'll be tears, laughter, and eventually pure joy as I engage and entertain the audience in a way that few other speakers can, leaving my audience dancing and clapping with the beat in and out of their seats!

That's why I call it a "Keynote Concert". It's far more than just a keynote address. And honestly, I couldn't really tell my full story without including the songs that now serve as mile markers along the way of my personal journey.

I find the interjection of my original music also adds a unique level of interest for the audience as they get a first-hand in person listen to exactly what I was thinking, feeling, and writing at that point in the story with the emotional intensity that only a heartfelt, well-written song can deliver. It helps me tell my story and its fun for the audience to listen.

My song "Empty Barn" opened doors for me that I never could have imagined the night I sat in my empty barn and wept. With now more than 120,000 YouTube views, features in national magazines and appearances on national TV, the only sense I can make of my whole unbelievable story is that the world needed this message and that somehow The Universe chose me to deliver it!
