"Bret is a dynamic speaker with the unusual ability to reach a culturally diverse audience. During one presentation at Babson College, he captivated and connected with a contingent of businessmen from Korea with a talk on successful North American management principles. On another occasion Bret accepted my invitation to speak to a culturally diverse group of adults from Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, and Venezuela in downtown Boston. His clear and insightful comments touched a nerve with the audience; in fact, Bret inspired and fielded lively discussion with the class members, which continued to subsequent class sessions.
Furthermore, Bret is the consummate travel planner! His recent Wisconsin tour plan of homage to Frank Lloyd Wright covered all of the requisite well-known and many unfamiliar sites of Wright in a brief jaunt from Chicago. Due to his usual exhaustive research, thoroughness of arrangements, focus on a good value, and great efficiency, his tour plan encompassed unique sightseeing (often pre-arranged private appointments), fine and adventurous local dining and accommodations, and spectacular nature settings along the way. Any traveler would do well by Bret's experienced recommendations for exciting, inspiring tours on and off ‘the beaten path.’
Additionally, Bret has been a guide to the natural world for my son through books and hands-on observations in nature. I'll never forget my son’s first look at crabs and polychaetes at the beach with him or our visit together to the Aquarium.
Finally, Bret can look in our refrigerator and create a tasty multi-course meal from the food he finds without shopping for more."
