Speaking Events:

I have been invited to and have spoken at many events and to many groups.  
From church groups to business groups, my story going from being morbidly
obese to Ironman provides wonderful inspiration to share with others the
importance of reaching out to others for help.  I believe that we need each other
and that God intended for us to reach out and share what we have learned with
one another.  I feel truly privileged when given the opportunity to speak to
others about my experiences.  My only hope is that they can learn something
from me to help them on their journey.


If you
have an event and would like me to come speak please contact me at
john@jphm.com.  If it is a local event there is no charge.  If I have to travel out
of my local area, I would request help funding my travel expenses.

Workshops:

I have given several workshops that center around how to lose weight naturally
by understanding and being aware of the factors that lead to overeating.  I
share how my own journey unfolded allowing me to understand how I was a
stress eater.  How unmet expectations are at the heart of the problem and
methods one can employ to overcome and finally succeed at reaching one's
goals and dreams.
