About My Speaking

For over 25 years, I’ve created stories, illustrations, and live experiences that invite people back to their imagination — not as performance, but as a place of honesty, curiosity, and possibility.

Whether I’m speaking to elementary students, educators, families, or community groups, my goal is the same: to create moments that are engaging, meaningful, and deeply human.

My presentations are story-driven, visually engaging, and shaped around the audience in front of me.

What I Speak About

While every talk is tailored, common themes include:

  • Creativity as a way of seeing and engaging the world

  • Finding voice and confidence beyond comparison and approval

  • Kindness, empathy, and personal responsibility

  • Encouragement through humor, storytelling, and live art

Talks are designed to meet the emotional and developmental needs of the audience, whether children, adults, or families together.

Audiences I Commonly Serve

  • Elementary, Middle & High School Students - Learn More

  • College Students

  • Educators

  • Businesses & Entrepreneurs

  • Family & Community Events

  • Conferences and Associations

Programs can be adapted for assemblies, classroom visits, evening family events, or combined school-community gatherings.

About The Flower Man

I am the author and illustrator of The Flower Man, a story about courage, kindness, and choosing to see beauty where others do not.

The book often becomes a shared touchstone during school visits and family events, helping anchor the message in something students and families can carry with them long after the visit.

Book signings or special bulk book options can be discussed when relevant.

What Schools & Communities Say

“Every student was engaged — laughing, listening, and thinking.”

“Mark connected with our kids in a genuine, memorable way.”

“The message stayed with our students long after the visit.”
