He has a deep and abiding passion for those in job search and as an Irishman is proud to be a recipient of the President’s Gold Medal for Volunteer Service for the work he does with the unemployed from President Obama. As a business speaker, his clients range from Harley-Davidson to Helsinki, from Memphis to Madrid.
