So absolutely recommend Mr. Roberts to your school system.”

“I would recommend Rik for any event. He offered the most entertaining presentation and had everyone engaged. He came back the next morning and started our day with Listen Up, Laugh It Up. When evaluations were completed, Rik received the highest marks and glowing reviews. Planning our conference this year, when discussing the entertainment session, it was with 100 percent agreement we should reach back out to Rik.”
