“Rick Deutsch is a dynamic speaker with positive energy. He
motivates and empowers.”

    Jayah Faye Paley, President
    AdventureBuddies.net
“While his seamless delivery reflects considerable experience in this
area, it was obvious that not only was his presentation engaging, it
also reflected considerable expertise. Mr. Deutsch not only knows his
field and is completely capable of making presentations concerning it,
he also lives it, and speaks from personal experience rather than
simply observations of others.”

    Kevin R. Reidler, Colonel
    US Army
    Chief, Homeland Division
    Joint Staff, J5
    The Pentagon
“This presentation is highly recommended for a wide range of
audiences due to the content and Rick’s interpretive style.”

    Dorris Welch, Interpretive Specialist
    Natural Sciences
    Oakland Museum of California
“Mr. Deutsch’s program on hiking Half Dome is well informed . . . his
program has been well attended and he has provided educational
information.”

    Bonnie Gisel, Curator
    Sierra Club, Le Conte Memorial Lodge
    Yosemite National Park
“Rick’s presentation is superb, well rounded, inspirational and
informative. His knowledge, candor and sense of humor won over
the crowd. I’ve hosted more than 600 presentations in my career
with REI, and Rick’s program on Half Dome is among the best.”

    Polly Bolling, REI Bay Area
    Outreach Specialist
“Rick gave an engaging presentation to the audience that held
them spellbound for the evening.  His closing remarks were taken
to heart: Discover a Passion, Prepare for Obstacles, Stay Motivated
and have Enthusiasm.”
