Guest Speaker \ Emcee \ Host
With hundreds of hours on stage, in front of the camera or behand a microphone, I have been very fortunate to have developed a great sense of comfort with audiences. That comfort has also translated to small and large group professional presentations, live multimedia work, as well as serving as emcee/auctioneer at scores of special events and fundraisers.
Interested in hiring me for one of your conferences, company meetings projects or events? Contact me and let’s start the conversation!
Special Events Host and Emcee
I am available to host, emcee and even serve as an auctioneer or panelist at your event or meeting. Whether a fun community event, or an important fundraiser, it is important to bring energy, entertainment, and engagement to the program. I work very closely with event organizers to the depth they desire – theming, scripting, rundown/flow, etc. Several of the videos I have produced, specifically to be shown at events, have gone on to win Telly Awards – while raising awareness and critical funds. Events and Organizations have included:
- Advent Health – Waterman Foundation
- Education Foundation, Lake County (FL)
- Stepping Out for Education
- Lake Sumter State College “Speaker Series”
- Take Stock in Children (Lake County, FL)
- American Cancer Society (Ocala, FL)
- Leesburg Area Chamber of Commerce
- LifeStream Behavioral Center
Guest Speaker / Presentations
Over the years, I have developed several dynamic presentations that have been shared in groups as small as local Chambers of Commerce, to professional organization conferences and symposiums. One in particular, DRIP Marketing Bootcamp, was designed as a full-day exercise for organizations, but has been customized into a “mini” version for large, diverse professional group presentations. All of the presentations can be customized to the audience make-up, size, and objectives:
- Getting to the Core of Your Values: Based on his book, “The RED APPLES Way” (published January, 2026) Marc’s dynamic and interactive presentation challenges participants and audiences to identify its values – both personally and professionally, as an individual and as an organization. Then, explore five critical components: Identifying, authenticating, articulating, testing, and adjusting your core values to build differentiation, accountability, and drive success.
- Respect The Universe: What happens when we become comfortable with giving up unwavering control in our lives and recognize the possibility that we are just small parts of The Universe? This powerful presentation begins at a baseball game in Baltimore and opens the audience’s eyes and minds to the power of The Universe, how awareness and understanding can alter our approach to our job, family and life, and the three concrete rules The Universe makes us play by.
- Video and The POPE: The title itself raises eyebrows, but it’s intended to exhibit the growing trends, strategies and the value of video in marketing your brand, business, or organization with a “Produce Once, Put Everywhere” (POPE) approach. When is it OK to produce your own and when should you invest into professional production services?
- DRIP Marketing Bootcamp: A four-step process that helps break down an organization’s true brand identity. The full presentation, typically tailored for a single organization’s leadership team, digs deeps into: (D)ifferentiation, (R)elationships, (I)nnovation, (P)roof. She shorter “mini” presentation, typically for a conference breakout or seminar session, stays focused on the driver of all branding – What truly differentiates you? The conversation is guaranteed to be eye-opening and spirited.
