“I was at your presentation in NCRO system ops. I would like to thank you and commend you on your bravery to even begin to tell your story. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to relive that day and the months following your accident. Having worked in the power plant for 22 years myself I can certainly relate to the hazards that surrounded me each day and I thank God I walked out of there every day as I walked in that morning. I am glad to say that having someone like yourself brave enough to share what happened and the lasting effects it has had on not only you but your family and friends. I also have two, now grown children and cannot imagine how something of that magnitude would have affected their lives. Thank you again for your bravery and concern for your fellow workers. Keep up the good work.”

“I thought your presentation was fantastic and very powerful. I loved the way you expressed your love and care for your family, especially as it related to all you’ve been through. May God bless you as you continue to share your stories and encourage ours to keep the right perspective on life.”

“Although I know the focus of your message is the importance of safety and how one accident can permanently alter life, what I found most inspiring is your positive attitude in regards to your accident. You seemed to not let this define your life and allow it to drag you into misery, which honestly I don’t know if I could avoid if I were in your shoes. I admire that. Your presentation was wonderful, I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“I just wanted to thank you personally for taking the time to visit with us. Although I absolutely hate the pain that you’ve endured, I’m thankful for your strength and truly appreciate the message that you bring. I will now always always remember your anniversary date and think of you, your story, and your ever-enduring optimism. You were able to command the audience; I’ve never heard that room as quiet as it was yesterday. Even the phones and radios seemed to have fallen silent as if to make sure that your important message went uninterrupted. You brought as much comedic relief as possible into what could have potentially been a stressfully awkward situation for some, and people were still talking this morning about your visit and of how greatly they valued you being here. I realize that you were sensitive toward people who might possibly have been disturbed by the graphic images that you presented, but you gave sufficient disclaimer about the material which I know was appreciated. I absolutely would not remove or edit the photographs as they were critical, and when you drove your message home by sharing the photo of your two beautiful children, well, that really was powerful. Seeing the visual progression of the company safety handbooks was interesting. I felt that the emphasis that you put on taking your time, and on not feeling rushed or taking any shortcuts was important and perfect. I liked your message around building interpersonal relationships between operations and field personnel. Now that I’ve written you a book I’d like to say thank you. From the very bottom of my heart. Your message has had a profound impact on me and I’m sure that others feel the same way. I’m grateful to have met you.”

“It was nice meeting you last week. Thanks so much for sharing your moving story. I like your style of presenting from memory and from your heart which helps keep the audience engaged. I’ll rate the presentation a solid 9 out of 10. Thanks again!”

“I really enjoyed your presentation. It was nice having a safety meeting with a powerful message. Usually we watch a video or they talk for a few minutes on how to be safe but it’s hard to stay engaged. I really liked how down to earth you were. It was more like a conversation with everyone rather than a presentation. It made it all seem more real if that makes sense. And like you said, people will feel uncomfortable around someone with a disability but your presentation squashed that quick. Thanks for your time and message.”

“Hello gentleman, just like to inform you that this event has been in my opinion. The most heart felt, spiritually, emotional and psychologically challenging safety session I’ve attended . And I’ve seen multiple presentations not only here at Peco but at other venues across the country. The level of sincerity, candor and illustrations where excellent. So anyone that works in this industry and value safety on any level have to be provoked to do better and be better.
So thank you for continually making the economical sacrifices in this company to drive home SAFETY. It is a major component of our business.
