I have nearly twenty years of experience in public speaking which began with preaching every Sunday at a small church in Marion, Illinois during my first year of graduate school. I have spoken at denominational meetings, gatherings of atheists/agnostics, to members of Congress, at well known universities in the United States and everything in between.
