Presentations by me, Tim Clark


I’m an experienced speaker who has appeared before audiences as small as six (NEC Media, 2002) and as large as 43,000 (performer at Peter Frampton concert, Seattle 1977—though I wasn’t in a band. I did a stage illusion with my Amazing Quad Bros. partner Bliss Kolb. We almost fell into the audience). The following is a partial list of my business presentations to date.
