Overview

Overcoming obstacles is a big part of any person's life and in my life I have had a couple of whoppers; Jodi Arias and Cancer! In my keynote and/or my One Man Show version of "Overcoming Jodi Arias" I talk about what it was like to overcome the public shaming that she brought into my life. I talk about how that stress of the trial and that shaming gave birth to cancer. Most importantly, I talk about how I worked to overcome it all. I say most important of all because while my performances are entertaining the real value in my performances is that behind the laughter and the stories stand lessons from which my audience can begin to look at what they need to overcome in a new healthier way.

Incredible!

Entertaining and thought provoking, Kirk took me on a journey through his moments of pain, struggle, and ultimate victory in a way I could easily relate to my own life. His authenticity was refreshing. I am so looking forward to his next event!

Very Clarifying Talk

I really enjoyed Kirk's event in Seattle. It made me ask my self a lot of the right questions and I would like to see one of his events again. His balance of character between a high level professional and someone that is still willing to listen to his inner child and follow his dream was very uplifting. Especially how he related his stories to how people can help themselves grow and listen to the inner voice that wants what makes them happy made listening to Kirk a pleasure.

He had a solid stage presence and I would recommend having him at your event.

About

Teaching others the lessons I have learned while battling cancer and infamy is my life's mission. I have appeared on the Today Show, Headline News, local television programs as well as numerous podcasts. However my most important pubic appearances are those that provide me with the opportunity to teach others the "how to" of "Defending Your Greatness." .
