My Presentations

---

I have had a cancerous brain tumor, concussions, divorce, deaths and seizures, and all of them have changed my life. I talk about each topic and how it has pushed my life forward. I’m happier now than I was a year ago, five years ago, and even 30 years ago. I am very upbeat and I love to tell my story.

I have spoken to the USC social worker program about how social workers guided my family to get me the best care possible at every stage of my journey; to the Cal. State Fullerton speech therapy program about how speech therapists helped me regain my ability to express myself; to the Biola University speech therapy program about my aphasia and how my spirituality helped me during my recovery; to New Song Church about how God helped me get through all my life's challenges; and twice to Coastline Community College: (1) about my life in general, and (2) about happiness—why some people are happy and some aren't.

I customize my speeches to fit your topic and generally speak for an hour, but I can adjust the talk to a shorter or longer period.

Testimonial:

"Sean has spoken in my graduate speech-language pathology class in the past.  His story is tragic, yet inspirational.  He is a man who has encountered more obstacles in life than most of us, but he has overcome those obstacles with grit and grace.  I highly recommend him as a class speaker.  He gives that unique insider perspective to neurological injury and aphasia that I know my students are desperate to understand.  They are blessed by both his story and his person."
