"Kevin Kline is the finest public speaker I have had the pleasure of hearing. He is a dynamic, highly motivating and compassionate speaker. He is able to totally engage his audience and tell his compelling story in a uniquely passionate and galvanizing manner. His listeners are absolutely taken by his message!"
Dr. David Poplack
Director, Texas Children's Cancer Center

"Kevin is one of those rare individuals who can take his passion and communicate it to anyone and everyone in the audience, regardless of your age or background. He inspires you not just through his words, but more importantly, through his actions. What he has accomplished as an athlete is astonishing, but it pales in comparison to what he has accomplished as a human being."
Robert Key
Founder, Faithful Soles

"I have been honored to hear Kevin speak in many occasions and surroundings over the years. When I sit back and reflect over each occurrence, I find these common threads throughout:

• Kevin speaks with passion and clarity.-Kevin speaks from the heart.
• Kevin can inject humor when needed, and keep the audience on target of the topics and subject matter all while making them smile and laugh.
• Kevin, does not speak to be heard, but takes you through a story, or even more impressively, a Journey.
• After hearing Kevin speak, you want to be a better person, and you truly feel like anything is possible if you put your mind, and most importantly your heart to it.
• Hearing Kevin speak in so many different venues and surroundings, he always is well aware of who his audience is, and makes them feel comfortable about any subject. This to me is a rare talent, and sometimes one we take for granted. This comes to Kevin naturally, which makes his speaking engagements memorable and something everyone is proud to be a part of.

Any business or charity organization would benefit greatly from allowing Kevin to spend time with them. In our business model, we always ask ourselves, 'Is this value added?'. I would say not only would it be value added, but added value that any team could use as building blocks to rekindle their core Values."
Bob Magnussen
District Manager, JCPenney Company

"Kevin Kline was the featured speaker at our annual mother-son luncheon for over 1000 moms and their high school sons. Kevin captivated the audience from the moment he began to speak about his inspirational story of how his life was changed by meeting a young girl battling cancer. After he spoke, he was mobbed by these young men asking how they could become volunteers at his events for cancer kids. In all of my years attending this event, he was by far the best speaker we have ever had. He touched everyone in some way and we are all better people for konwing him!"
Jill Ribbeck
Vice President, Strake Jesuit Mothers Club

Tempest Storm

Burlesque Superstar

Tempest Storm brings a new dimension to the Bruce Merrin Celebrity Speakers & Entertainment Bureau, as it proudly presents the all-time Queen Of Burlesque.

Tempest is the last of the original superstars of burlesque. She is the only burlesque dancer to ever ‘strip' on the stage of Carnegie Hall in New York. She was cited by Playboy Magazine as one of the most glamorous women of the century. She is an inductee into the Burlesque Hall of Fame and the Tropicana Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, and is the 2011 nominee for a star on the Vegas Walk Of Fame.

Her story of the poor farm girl from the South who escaped an abusive childhood to find fame and love in the spotlight of stars is the model, as reported in the media, for the new film, “Burlesque” with Christina Aguilera and Cher.

Tempest Storm presently headlines and hosts the “Tempest Storm Las Vegas Burlesque Revue” that is bringing classic burlesque back to the legitimate American theater stages.

Her romantic ties with Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, and other men of power add to the allure of this entertainment icon.

Simon Conway

Radio Host

He is smart, witty and sharp. A national radio talk show host with a unique perspective on the United States in the 21st Century. He is SIMON CONWAY.

His conservative outlook was forged in his native UK, where he experienced the considerable downsides of European-style socialism. His take on the issues of the day facing Americans can best be summed up by a line he often uses on the air - "I've already lived through where we are headed."

Born in London, England, Simon completed his almost ten year journey to legal US Citizenship just a couple of years ago. This has given him some extremely interesting insights into the immigration debate.

Simon has lived and worked in Israel and the UK as well where was a journalist. He also founded one of England's most successful Corporate Communications businesses which he ran for some 20 years.

He is also a published fiction author.

Most recently you could have heard him on 540 WFLA/Orlando, News Radio 1140 WRVA/Richmond, Talk Radio 105-5 WERC/Birmingham and News Radio 630 WLAP/Lexington. Having been filling in around the country on such great stations as KOGO/San Diego, WOAI/San Antonio and KTLK/Minneapolis, Simon has now landed one of the very best jobs in Talk Radio - Afternoon Drive Host on the legendary Heritage station - News Radio 1040 WHO in Des Moines Iowa. This is the place where Ronald Reagan started work and is the station where anybody who is serious about being President of the United States, will have to come and visit.

"The Constitution should be regarded as a sacred document," he says and adds: "Unfortunately as each year passes it seems to be less important."

Simon also believes in giving back to his community and so for the past five years he has coached both men's and women's high school tennis in Orlando. His 2010 record in that regard was two Metro Championships; two District Championships; Regional Runners-up and four of his kids went to the State Championship as well. What he is less likely to tell you, is that he was also voted by his fellow coaches as both Men's and Women's Metro Coach of the Year.
