Hope this suffices for proof–here’s my bio:

Eddie is a professional speechwriter with over 10 years of experience in helping business leaders, keynote speakers, TED talk presenters, and everyday people, enhance the messages they tell through great storytelling and structure. He loves creating strong narrative-driven speeches that focus on balancing emotional and thought-leadership content.

As a speechwriter, he has worked with CEOs, college presidents and trustees, superintendents and principals, business owners, authors, politicians, organization leaders, nonprofit executive directors, and everyone in between. Public speaking and speechwriting are equalizers: we all want to say just the right words whether it’s small groups or large audiences.

What speeches can he write?

• Ceremonial speeches: Wedding speeches (including maid of honor, best man, and father of the bride), anniversary toasts, retirement speeches, award acceptance speeches
• TED and TEDx Talks
• Keynote speeches: Speeches for authors and thought leaders, graduation speeches, speeches addressing an organization or association
• Nonprofit advocacy speeches: From fundraising to raising awareness, getting your message out to people who need to hear it the most
