Capnote Speaker
Kevin Wanzer   Question:  What does a former talking Christmas Tree, a man who was Walt Disney’s Goofy (for a day), and the hopefully-soon-to-be Guiness Book of World Record holder for the most hugs given by an individual in 60 seconds have in common?  

Answer:  He is Kevin Wanzer, an out of this world speaker, who is thrilled to speak at your closing general session.

Kevin began his speaking career as a sophomore in high school, after being inspired by his mentor, Mark Scharenbroich. Since then, Kevin has visited well over 2,500 audiences around the world, empowering young people and adults who empower the lives of young people - through laughter, inspiring audience members to become better versions of themselves. Often described as organized chaos, Kevin’s message is a roller coaster of laughs that touch your heart and tickle your funny bone.

Kevin is a former staff member of the David Letterman Show, has spoken at the White House, and has addressed the United Nations. To this day, Kevin is still one of the youngest presidential appointees in American history.

Inspired by the spirit of ALOHA, Kevin’s message is one that will last long after the laughter as he reminds you of the importance of choosing to love what you do, choosing to love with whom you work and choosing to love those you serve.
