Brad Montgomery never planned to be a professional speaker and business humorist. He planned to be a lawyer. Brad now speaks to corporations and associations who need a lift, bringing laughter and magic with a simple-yet-powerful message about creating more humor in our lives. His corporate clients include Kraft, Proctor and Gamble, IBM, General Mills, Microsoft, The CIA, The IRS, The US Air Force, COMSAT, Merrill Lynch and Honeywell. He’s a speaker. Author. Comedian. Thought leader. Happiness expert. Magician.  Facilitator.  Audience participation master. He isn’t just another talking head blow hard.  He’s a nice guy who happens to be very funny when delivering meaningful business programs.
