Thanks to his popular public speaking courses delivered at the largest tech companies

level of audience connection than they ever thought possible.

In addition to teaching, Don can be found on the trade show floor, where he

nonfiction television for shows including House Hunters, 40 Dollars a Day with Rachael

Spiegelworld and performed briefly with the Blue Man Group and he is listed in

award-winning sketch and clown groups DJ Faucet and the Innocents. His troupes
have received awards, including the Improv Olympic Del Close Award for Best
Sketch Comedy Troupe and the Hollywood Fringe Award for Best Physical Theater,

Championship.

Don graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in Communications from Boston
University. He holds certifications in Design Thinking, Applied Improvisation,

not helping speakers engage with their audiences more deeply, he can be found
hiking through the redwoods.
