I would be very happy to write a letter of endorsement on your behalf. In order to provide you with something that will be beneficial to you please send me an outline or some brief comments that you would like me to focus the letter toward. I will be proud to say, I knew Fred before he was became the famous and much sought after, FitFooddude.", Rob Challinor, District Superintendent, Muroc Joint Unified School District.

"Thank you so much for keynoting at the 2007 Pacific regional NACUFS Meeting. You did a fantastic job, and the attendees loved your presentation. Admittedly, the NACUFS members were a bit apprehensive about what this so-called “Fit Food Dude” was going to tell them – was he going to be condescending, preachy or dogmatic in his approach? Everyone’s skepticism was briskly quenched the minute you started your presentation.

Your positive, empathetic, and passionate delivery kept the audience intrigued and interested from introduction through final applause. Your energy was captivating, and again, you did a stellar job.

Keep on keeping on, as I like to say when applicable, which it is with you and your presentations. Any audience would be lucky to have you lead them into or throughout a meeting, conference or event. Our group certainly benefited from your presentation, and I noticed people immediately implementing some of the suggestions you addressed.

Thank you, and please let me know if there is anything I may do to be of assistance. I hope to see you at another Regional or National NACFS meeting in the near future!", Stephanie Luros, Educational programming Coordinator2007 NACUFS Pacific Regional Conference.

"On behalf of all of the employees of the Tehama County Department of Education, I would like to thank you for your inspiring and well-delivered key note address at our Annual All Staff Training Day at the Red Bluff Community Center.

The information you presented was extremely valuable, useful and the real-life stories you shared complimented the information for a very enjoyable speech. I have received only positive comments and feedback regarding your presentation. It was also very nice to get out of our seats and practice some of your basic moves which hopefully many of us will continue to utilize throughout our work days.

I would be happy to recommend you for future presentations and you may use this letter as an enthusiastic recommendation to prospective clients. Thank you again, Fred, for a terrific keynote address",. Roxy Williams, Assistant Superintendent Administration.

"Thank you so much for an outstanding job as keynote speaker for our Spring 2007 Conference. You set the perfect tone for the conference and I think that was reinforced by the big attendance at your break out session that followed. In fat, I was pleased to see how many people came to the Miracle Moves exercise breakout late that afternoon – that was impressive!

Our conference evaluations have been tabulated and I think our attendees can sum up your sessions best:

Excellent bold presentation. Good stuff for me to hear at the moment.
Very motivating. Excellent speaker.
He is fun and interesting. Good speaker.
Very upbeat and positive. Good way to start.
Very inspiring! First time hearing Fred. Moral is that it is never too late to start!
Bring him back every year!
He is a great speaker. There was a lot of good information.

As for my reaction, well you are a conference planner’s dream speaker. I appreciated the interest you had in advance of the audience. Our communication prior to the event made me feel very secure and I never questioned that you would make it on time, motivated and ready to give it your best. It was perhaps challenging this time, since you spoke to this group only two years ago, but as you can tell by the comments you continued to motivate this group and set a positive tone for the rest of the conference.

On a personal note, I got to sit in for pieces of your talks, but I was also reminded to dream. Thank you for all of your hard work. It has affected more lives than you know.", Susan Sacks, Executive Director, SCHOOL NUTRITION ASSOCIATION of Massachusetts.
