The Teddy Roosevelt Show

Thoroughly knowledgeable, professional and entertaining!

Joe spoke to a large crowd of our Christian Men’s Fellowship that included males ranging in age from Boy Scouts to World War II veterans. He was both captivating and inspiring, including a Christian witness during his closing remarks. His breadth of Theodore Roosevelt knowledge and wit was remarkable and equally matched by his mastery of TR’s speech and mannerisms. He readily accepted an unlimited scope of questions from the audience and easily answered them “in character” or “as Joe” depending on the inquiry. One bonus that was totally unexpected by me was that he “worked” the crowd before our dinner and was then able to comfortably weave names of attendees and their conversations with him into his program.

Joe brought President Theodore Roosevelt to our school for a day of in-class visits with our 11th grade American History students. He captivated the students at all levels - from general level classes to AP students – and even though he provided each class with information they’d need to know in their studies, he had such a wealth of anecdotes about TR that his presentation stayed fresh, even during the final class! The American History teachers were delighted, and I saw other teachers and school staff come in during the day, just to watch for a few minutes. Perhaps the best review of all came from another parent, who wrote me that her daughter came home full of “TR stories” after Joe’s visit with her class. I should also mention the depth and breadth of Joe’s Roosevelt scholarship. At the end of each class he asked the students whether they had any questions. No matter what the topic – from National Parks to Hawaiian annexation – Joe was able to answer as TR, giving details and quotes in his answers. It was very impressive.
