Wade is a talented presenter who captures his audience with his enthusiasm and relaxed style.  He is one of the rare individuals who can reach into your heart and give you the essence of his message with clarity.  Having worked with Wade I have been so impressed by his commitment to getting things done and done right.  He is the “go to” person for many because he will finish the job in a good way and on time.

I still remember Wade’s presentation on the importance of Community Needs Assessments at a breakout session at the Rotary International Convention in Toronto.

So many of us want to make a difference but finding a direct avenue knowing the money is going to be used for what was intended is rare.
