About the Speaker

Education “There is no such thing as bad knowledge,

only knowledge used badly.”

Experience “Without experience, knowledge has no meaning.

Without knowledge, experience has no merit.”

Volunteering “What we do for money defines what we produce,

what we do in our free time defines who we are.”
