  • We thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. At KPMG Forensic, we are in the business of preventing and detecting fraud, and much to my surprise, you were able to fool our top notch investigators. It was a great way to build team moral while "poking fun" at ourselves. I appreciate the time you took with me to achieve a high-level understanding of our people and business. Thank you for a job well done.

  • Your presentation took many, if not all, of our attendees by surprise.  They are still talking about it! Those present were very impressed with your delivery and enjoyed your humor and the entertainment you provided. It was wonderful to see the laughter in the room and the atmosphere you created definitely fit in with our networking and collaboration mission.  All of us especially enjoyed how you poked fun of key Board members based on the profiles that I provided you. I also wanted to express my gratitude to customizing your presentation to fit the cyber security mission of the FS-ISAC.  Your research of technical terms and how you used them in your talk in hilarious juxtapositions with common language was particularly effective.
