He took a lead role in developing the book into “The Miracle of America” concert and has performed throughout the nation as the narrator for the concert which combines music, stories and vignettes about the founders of our nation.

His seminar will focus on stories of the first free people to survive as a nation in modern times. Our founders wrote a new kind of Constitution that is now the oldest in existence.
