I have observed Nigel’s instruction and performances on multiple occasions over the last three years. Many committed academics are not that entertaining while many energetic entertainers lack academic expertise. Nigel is both an extraordinary entertainer and an asset to public education in multiple curriculum areas. His performers can stir positive emotions among a crowd of 800 while his teaching can be student-centered to reach all learners. I am honored to work with him and proud to call him a friend.

“Your performances are epic! They’re emotionally driven and they incorporate facts with real world knowledge. Students in all socioeconomic brackets can learn from and relate to your take on life and the perpetuation of generations keeping themselves from prospering. Poetry at its best, but it is much more than that. It’s a plea for kids to understand that they have power over their own education and their own circumstances.”
