Public Speaker

Discussions about Writing, My Books, and War Stories

I am often asked to recite my poem Sweet Bird of Youth at veterans events and other venues. I also speak about the writing process and my books upon request, as well as the Vietnam War and issues relating to it. (Most folks don’t mind some fishing stories thrown in.)

I have spoken to many youth groups, and other groups of all ages.

I charge no fees for speaking; however I do ask for expense compensation if travel is required. ~Joe

Check out my event schedule and contact me regarding a speaking engagement.

Note: an organization has been contacting me as a third party for people seeking speaking engagements. They charge a fee to those seeking speakers. This is not necessary as I can be contacted directly through this website, no fee involved.  ~Joe
