Over the last decade I have been the guest speaker for dozens of meetings across Ontario. Organizations invite me back year after year because I provide entertaining and informative history stories that keep the audience engaged. Question period is always fun too.
The stories I tell are based on historical research and lots of original documents. My experience with genealogy helps give a people-centric approach to explaining the context of events and the reasons people had for their actions and decisions.
For in-person events, I am available to speak at any time and place. Living in Brighton gives me easy access to locations along the 401 and I am happy to drive almost any distance if I have the chance to tell a history story. For virtual events, a Zoom presentation is second nature and the commute is sweat.
Emergency calls are welcome! If I do not have other events booked, I can be there quickly and be ready to tell a history story.
