Frequently Asked Questions

Please read the following before emailing with a question. If you're still not sure of the answer, please feel free to write using the form on this page.

How do I order and pay?

To order, please visit either the "Free Seminars" or "Private Events" page and follow the instructions there for sending in a request email. I will get back to you within two business days with confirmation and, in the case of private events, an invoice for payment. Payment must be in the form of money order, credit card or PayPal and must be received no later than one week before the event.

Are there refunds?

If a client cancels up to one week out, there is a full refund. 50% will be returned if the cancellation is done from one week to two days out from the event. For cancellations two days or less before the event, no refund will be given.

If the client is not satisfied with the presentation, a partial refund may be arranged depending on the circumstances.

If the presentation is canceled for any reason on my part, a full refund will be given.

How far in advance do I need to book?

One month in advance is appreciated, but if my schedule is open, reservations within three days are acceptable.

Do you travel outside of Houston?

Yes, up to 30 miles (Humble, the Woodlands, Pearland, etc.) without compensation. Please ask if you're not sure if your area is close enough. More distant locations are also possible, depending on compensation and schedule.

Do you provide food or drinks?

No. Please have ready your own beverages, snacks or food, but understand that due to the nature of many items shown, all food and drink must be kept away from them.

What is your professional background?

A college graduate (Hook 'em Horns!) with a degree in journalism, I have taught English as a Second Language to both adults and children for nearly six years in Japan and America and am currently enrolled in a certification program to become a journalism teacher for the State of Texas, with a clean criminal record and no legal issues of any kind.

Can you provide any references?

Yes. I happily provide references upon request.
