Bubba
Motivational Speaker
Bubba is a passionate speaker who isn't afraid to use his own story to confront relevent topics that bombard this generation.
As a young overweight boy, Bubba was often the victim of bullying, both at school by other children and at home by his father. The reality of this lifestyle set him on a course of self destruction including: attempted suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, and many destructive relationships. He continued on this slippery path until one day Bubba found that he, in fact, had now become the bully.
Fortunately, Bubba's story doesn't end there. He brings all this together with a redemptive message of forgiveness and restoration saying, "It doesn't matter where you start, it's how you finish!" Through this story Bubba has been able to impact thousands of students, and adults alike, all over the world.
Entertainer
Bubba's unique stage presence is a crowd pleaser. He's engaging, funny, dynamic...and this boy can dance!
Bubba is skilled in numerous feats of strength: bending steel bars, blowing up hot water bottles, tearing phone books, breaking bricks, pulling semis, flipping over cars, bench pressing a motorcycle, and much more!
 Although Bubba can definitely command the stage by himself, he has had the honor and privilege to share the stage with a variety of entertainers, speakers, musicians, and athletes: Master Illusionist Harris III, Seth Franco (Ex-Harlem Globetrotter), Ken Canfield (Founder, National Center for Fathering), Daniel Kelm (World Champion Unicyclist), and James Sang Lee (World Champion Martial Artist and Actor) to name a few.
Regardless of the task at hand, no matter big or small, Bubba's passion for his craft shows! One thing you can be sure of: the crowd will be screaming for more!
Husband and Father
Bubba is involved in a lot of projects and activities; however, for him, the priorty is taking care of and being a part of his family.
He and his wife, Heather, were married in 1997 and have 6 children: Anna, Nathan, Luke, Esther, Miriam and Johanna.
Although their marriage didn't start out as a fairy tale, it seems to look a little more "happily ever after" every day.
Bubba is a great husband and superb father. He has shared his story of coming from minimal training on how to be a man and father, to where he is today for audiences world wide. He truly is a voice for redemptive fatherhood to this generation!
