Speaking

Talks that leave a program behind, not just applause.

I see potential before students see it — and I build the opportunities that expand what they believe is possible. These talks show school and district teams how to do the same.

Signature Talks

Four talks, one throughline: turning interest into opportunity.

01

Building a Winning Tech Program From the Ground Up

How I grew a program from 20 to 60 students and four DC State Championships — then proved it was repeatable by launching a chess program that produced a state champion in its first season.

What your audience walks away with: a concrete blueprint for building or rebuilding a program, no big budget required.

02

Esports Is a Pathway, Not a Distraction

From launch to Paul's first-ever Eastern Region Championship and back-to-back undefeated seasons — and into a real pipeline toward computer science, broadcasting, and game development.

What your audience walks away with: a practical case for building an esports program tied to real career outcomes.

03

Excellence Where No One Expects It

Championship programs aren't reserved for well-funded districts. The difference is vision, structure, and belief — not budget.

What your audience walks away with: a mindset and method for raising outcomes when the budget is tight and the doubt is high.

04

Creating Student Leadership Pipelines

How CTSOs, competition, and esports turn participants into team captains and leaders — moving students from joining in to leading the way.

What your audience walks away with: a model for developing student leaders who carry a program forward year after year.
