For over a decade, I’ve spoken at conferences, universities, businesses, and wellness events—both in person and virtually—sharing my journey of living with prostate cancer since age 35. My mission is to inspire healthier living and advocate for men’s health, emphasizing the urgent need for screenings, checkups, and early detection—lessons drawn from my own story.
Whether I’m speaking to student-athletes and families in a gymnasium, presenting virtually to medical students, or taking the stage at large-scale events like TEDx and national health conferences, I bring a perspective shaped by lived experience, informed by science, and enriched by thousands of conversations with men navigating their own health journeys.
As an author, patient advocate, and founder of the Blue Cure Foundation, I’ve seen firsthand how lifestyle change, integrative care, and open dialogue can transform lives.
Popular speaking topics include:
- Prostate cancer awareness and early detection — and why it’s not just an “old man’s disease”
- Lifestyle change as a powerful tool for prevention and survivorship
- Mental health and masculinity
- Patient advocacy in today’s healthcare system
Previous speaking engagements include:
TEDx, MD Anderson Cancer Center, American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), Mayo Clinic, Society of Nuclear Medicine Conference, Oregon Urology Foundation, IACAN, UT Health San Antonio, and others.
