Chip began his journey in life on a 350 acre Hereford
farm in Western Pennsylvania. His roots in rural America
taught him to work hard, to honor God, and to show
others dignity and respect. All his life he has been
engaged in the study of human potential and behavioral
change. Along the way he has been mastering the art of
public speech and studying effective ways to enhance
performance and ignite the fires of hope and untapped
potential in others. He discovered his ultimate purpose
after being diagnosed with cancer in 1995. That purpose
is to encourage and inspire others to seek, discover and
explore their ultimate potential. This self-discovery
compels him to develop programs, products and services
that help others explore and exploit their "greater
selves."
He graduated from college in 1984 with a degree in
Psychology and attained his Masters of Science degree in
Human Resources and Organizational Development from
Barry University in 1999.
Chip has earned his Certified Speaking Professional
(CSP) designation, established by the National Speakers
Association (NSA) and the International Federation for
Professional Speakers (IFPS), as the speaking
profession's international measure of professional
platform skill. The CSP designation, was established in
1980, and is conferred only on those accomplished
speakers who have earned it by meeting strict criteria.
The letters CSP following a speaker's name indicate a

Florida. There he initiated and built the Institute for
Leadership Development (ILD), a comprehensive corporate

designed to provide courses for managerial skill
development, as well as
opportunities for personal and professional growth for
all hospital employees. The ILD curriculum once

degree programs. His leadership in the ILD led to other
outside organizations requesting his speaking services.
