Tim Gabrielson
Tim has been performing and speaking for over 30 years. He originally became in-demand nationally for his riveting show combining clean humor and highly-skilled magic. It didn’t take long to gain the attention of agents and producers alike-which landed him fill-in spots for Vegas headliners before acquiring his own room at The House of Blues in Mandalay Bay on the Vegas Strip. During that 18 years and thousands of shows, “overnight” success, Tim realized, that his humor was touching and changing lives by allowing people to see beyond their immediate hardships. So, for the past 10+ years, he has been infusing his highly-entertaining show with a powerfully simple and applicable take-away message about starting each day with Gratitude, choosing your Attitude, changing your Behaviour, and creating Enthusiasm.

Stevie Ray
Stevie Ray has been a noted keynote speaker and trainer across the country for over 30 years (he is older than he looks). An expert in human interaction, he helps leaders and employees handle difficult situations. His most requested subjects are leadership, teamwork, customer service, persuasion and influence, professional networking, and presentation/speaking skills.
Stevie is unique in the speaking field in that he uses no PowerPoint/Keynote slides, and does not deliver a speech from behind a podium. Since his goal is to impart new skills that can be used immediately in the workplace, his sessions are highly interactive; using hands-on exercises that teach valuable techniques. Besides his work as a speaker, Stevie has been a professional entertainer, and has performed with such stars as Paula Poundstone, and “Weird Al” Yankovick. So, his sessions are laugh-filled as well as informative. A common comment from audiences is, “I never laughed so much and learned so much at the same time.”
Stevie is a nationally syndicated columnist for the Business Journal Newspapers, and is the author of a dozen books. In his free time, he is a beekeeper, volunteers recording books-on-tape for the blind, has studied seven martial arts and hold black belts in four of them.
