Russ Peak can captivate an audience and engage them in an experience that can best be described as truly magical as he weaves into his presentation a powerful and motivational message that leaves the audience recharged, ready, and eager to take on their challenges."
Dan Dodge

"I have been impressed with how our students as well as the students from our Leadership Conference still talk about your presentation. Not only were they amazed at the 'tricks of the mind' you performed, but they were honestly moved by your personal stories and challenges to them to be the best that they can be. In fourteen years of doing activities, I can tell you that I have never had an assembly that has had such a lasting, positive impact on our student body."
Curt Chase

"3 thumbs up! Although I had seen your demo videos and talked with people from schools that had used you in the past, you greatly exceeded my expectations. Everybody who met you and talked with you echoes my thought that you are not only very talented and entertaining, you are also a terrific, genuinely nice caring human being. We hope to bring you back next year and, again, thank you for a memorable evening."

After four years of coming to our event, I have still heard nothing but positive feedback from the advisors of the many other schools that attend each year. Your presentation is always engaging and appropriate for our student population. These kids can be a hard audience but you always hook them. I know we can always count on you to put on a good show. See you next year!"
Pam McKinney

"Thank you for providing your outstanding keynote for our leadership camps at U.C. Santa Barbara and Stanford University. You educated and entertained over one thousand students from 146 schools this past July. We feel that you filled a definite, and important, niche in our program. I would not hesitate to recommend you to schools in California, or any other state that would like to provide a unique presentation for their students"
Jack Zieglar
Camp Director
"Russ Peak was the keynote speaker at a retreat for our leadership program. He spoke to the students about the importance of leadership and goal setting. The students loved his presentation. Russ has the ability to relate to high school students and they really listen to what he has to say. The students did not want his performance to end. Whether Russ is strictly entertaining a group or providing a message, he is a dynamic presenter. I would highly recommend Russ for any school."
Lisa Dieker
Director of Activities
"Just dropping you a quick note to thank you for the awesome job you did at our Leadership Training session. The kids were mesmerized by your performance, and I appreciated how you wove the leadership message into your act. It was both informative and entertaining! I am looking forward to having you back.!"
Mike White
Assistant Principal
"Russ Peak's message was amazing. We had 900 student council kids in attendance and not one of them was doing anything but listening to Russ talk. I wish I could hold the attention of my classroom like he held the attention of that group of kids. His presentation is a mixture of motivation and magic. The students still talk about his performance and lessons they learned. If you are searching for that perfect speaker look at Russ Peak.!"
Barbara Hoffman
Conference Coordinator
TASC District #13
"You were the highlight of the conference. I want to thank you for your professionalism prior to, during, and after the show. I have had many occasions in my 15 years of teaching and advising to contract with entertainers and speakers. You were the easiest to book, showed up 2 hours before the show, and didn't leave until you made sure all questions were answered and that we were thoroughly satisfied. It was very refreshing to deal with someone with such integrity, not to mention talent!"
Joe Homes
Conference Coordinator
"To those of us who plan events for a living are always searching for thos speakers and facilitators who make us look good at what we do. Russ Peak is just such a person, and I am delighted to recommend him to others. Russ has become one of our "go-to" speakers. I know I can count on him to do quality work, and that I can use him in a variety of situations. I really recommend you give him a try for your next event!"
Nancy Moen
State Executive Director
"Every interaction with Russ was a pleasure. On the evening of the performance, he arrived early, setup his equipment, and delivered a spectacular performance tailored to our particular needs. We enjoyed his act and learned from the experience. His message- that with the power of the mind, anything is possible, resonated with the audience!"
John Alongi
Director of Activities
"The students and staff enjoyed Russ Peak's magic presentation for Red Ribbon Week. We were very fortunate that he could work us into his schedule at that time because his magic combined with an anti-drug and alcohol message fit right in with what we were wanting to accomplish during the week. We have been won over. I am hoping that Russ will be able to return in the future to help us promote an alcohol and other drug free lifestyle."
Ken Oyer
Director of Activities
"It has
been our privilege to host Russ Peak
for assemblies. Not only has he been extremely
captivating for the students, but he has conducted himself in
a professional manner which earns him the support of our
administration. His school appropriate material has the
students clamoring for more, and makes my job planning
successful assemblies easy. Russ Peak has been doing quality
assemblies here at Casa Roble H.S. For over 12 years, and I
give him my highest recommendation."
