Spark Plug - Leadership BIO for July 26th
Spark Plug has given the keynote presentations for many Fortune 500 companies such as Georgia Power Company, government agencies, leadership conferences, managers' meetings, CEO meetings, sales meetings or any other meeting where the topic of leadership is discussed.
Spark Plug was raised in a poor family with a father who physically abused his mother. His presentations on overcoming the odds and building a successful business and leadership strategies are filled with entertaining and unforgettable personal stories about perseverance. Spark is often heralded as the highlight of meetings and conferences.
“The Spark Plug” has sold everything from pots and pans from the trunk of his car to advertising. While working for a sporting goods organization, the president, John Smith, was so impressed with his sales ability, energy and enthusiasm that he bestowed upon him the moniker, “Spark Plug”. After being named top sales person numerous times, he began his own advertising business where he found great financial success. Public speaking is his love. When you see him, you’ll feel it.
Spark Plug is the human spark plug for ACDelco, the largest automotive spark plug maker, a distinguished graduate of Mercer University, a volunteer for the American Lung Association, Habitat for Humanity, and American Red Cross. He also serves as a mentor to an elementary school student at East Fayette and is the recipient of Atlanta’s prestigious Phoenix Award for community service. He’s a humanitarian, entrepreneur, U.S. Navy veteran, tennis player, snow skier, biking enthusiast, art collector, author of two books, photographer, and publisher.
