Tim Piccirillo, born with Tourette Syndrome, grew up with severe symptoms (currently controlled with medication) of jerking his limbs involuntarily, facial tics as well as self-abusive behaviors. Tim graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania in 1984 with a B.S. in Habilitative Science. Tim presents captivating school assembly programs as a motivational school speaker, as well as high-energy keynote presentations for colleges and organizations throughout the country.

General Track – Speaker
Rick Green may look familiar from such popular shows as the Red Green Show (which he created, wrote and directed), Prisoners of Gravity (in which he played Commander Rick) and History Bites (which he produced and hosted). He's also the creator of TotallyADD.com, a website that helps liberate people from the fear, shame, and stigma that can accompany ADD, an often misunderstood and misdiagnosed disorder (sound familiar?).
