Mike Rivera was the perfect choice to close the Highlands County ECET2 District Convening. He not only made us laugh until we cried, he spoke the truth and uplifted the crowd with his realistic outlook on teaching. His comedic timing was impeccable, his jokes hilarious, and his message believable because he is a teacher just like us.

Mike Rivera is a talented and hilarious comedian-teacher who knows how to keep an audience laughing from his first joke to his last. Some of his funniest jokes targeted specific audience members, making the show even more awesome. He is my new favorite comic.

Dear Colleagues:

I had the distinct privilege of securing the services of Mr. Michael Rivera as the keynote speaker for the Professional Retreat Day for Morning Star Catholic School in Pinellas Park, Florida.  The title of his keynote was, “Creating a Trusted Environment through Humor.” Mr. Rivera, from all accounts, created a safe and engaging atmosphere that was both poignant and humorous.  His enthusiasm for his craft is inspiring.  His ability to share vignettes from both his professional and personal lives highlights how he lives out the stated topic.  I strongly recommend Michael Rivera as a Keynote Speaker.  May his presence serve you as it did the Faculty and Staff of Morning Star Catholic School!

Respectfully,

Mr. Andy Shannon
