He is really great! I reached out last spring and tried to get some schools to sign on with me. If you bring him in, you won't regret it!

If he schedules at least three days, he will waive most travel costs (plus multiple schools can split him for a day), so this is the most affordable time to find out what the buzz is about:

He tailors his presentations to meet each age group. Much of what he talks about fits in beautifully with our curriculum, too. He was very easy to work with, and it was a low maintenance presentation. I strongly recommend Marc."
