My Speaking Page

Thank you for exploring my speaking page. 

I know how hard it can be to find just the right speaker. When I was the Assistant Director of the Catholic Information Center in Washington DC, I was responsible for booking speakers and organizing Catholic events.

How Do You Find a GREAT Catholic Speaker?

I am convinced that great speakers either make or break a planned event, fundraiser, or conference. In my own experience planning events, I found that a successful event depends on booking a speaker who has the following five traits:

  1. The speaker possesses a polished appearance and honors punctuality. In other words, he’s professional.
  2. The speaker demonstrates authenticity, knowledge, integrity, and transparency.
  3. The speaker is “natural” in front of people. He just has the knack.
  4. The speaker communicates an explosive message that brings about a “Wow Experience” for the audience.
  5. The speaker is available before and after the presentation to meet with the audience, sign books, and answer questions. In other words, the speaker is “present” both on stage and off stage.

If a speaker doesn’t deliver on these five elements, the event tends to be unsuccessful. A bust. However, if the speaker is able to shine in these five categories, the event is an immense success. People leave your conference edified, informed, and excited about their Catholic Faith.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a small retreat or a conference of 1,000 participants. You need more than a decent speaker. You need a GREAT speaker.

Video Footage of Me Speaking

My experience tells me that the number one thing that event planners want to see is a video example of speaking experience. Videos reveal everything.

I am able to speak on topics ranging from Mariology, Fatherhood, Marriage, Old and New Testament topics, Thomistic Philosophy, and the Priesthood. Most people want me to share my conversion story – my path from being an Episcopal priest to a Catholic. I can create a talk that meets your needs, is heavily researched, and excites your participants.

I have given talks to:

  • a room of lawyers,
  • a collection of scholars,
  • Legatus meeting,
  • lay conferences,
  • a priest retreat,
  • seminarians,
  • high schoolers,
  • college students,
  • and even to the Prince of Lichtenstein.
  • I am flexible and ready to customize.

Below are the talks that I am asked to deliver most frequently:

  1. How I Left the Episcopal Priesthood for the Catholic Church
    This talk brings laughs and tears. It is the story of how Christ opened my heart to the Catholic Church through a variety of meetings with Rabbis, Cardinals, and even a Mass with Pope Benedict. It is my favorite talk to give.
  2. Judaism and Catholicism
  3. Old Testament Liturgy and Catholic Liturgy
  4. Old Testament Architecture and Catholic Architecture
  5. Saint Paul vs. the Protestant Reformers on the Holy Mass
  6. Was Saint Paul a Catholic Priest? Saint Paul and the Priesthood and Celibacy
