Overview

At 40 feet above the ground, Dean was paralyzed by fear, sobbing—but determined to rise above it. Surviving leukemia, losing his mother to cancer, enduring sexual abuse as a young child, and witnessing his father’s battle to overcome alcoholism forged the resilience and leadership skills that fuel success for him and his teams. Those hardships taught grit, empathy, and purpose. Today, Dean’s story doesn’t just inspire—it equips audiences to overcome challenges, embrace their potential, and achieve what once seemed impossible. Planners book Dean because he delivers a transformative experience that motivates teams, drives engagement, and leaves a lasting impact on every audience.

Speaker

I cannot say enough about Dean. He came from De Pere to Appleton in a snow storm (Blizzard) in January for my North East Wisconsin Wedding Professional group. There was only 3 of us other than Dean that showed up and he did his presentation accordingly. He was gracious enough to do the event and reschedule for the next month to reach a larger group. Greatly appreciated by our group and was a wonderful presenter and speaker.

Joan thank you for the review. I was happy to drive down in the blizzard to speak to your group. Thank you for asking me to come back at on another date, when the weather was better, so I could meet the whole group. I had a great time meeting each of them and learning about their businesses and their stories. Thank you again.
