“While his seamless delivery reflects considerable experience in this
area, it was obvious that not only was his presentation engaging, it
also reflected considerable expertise. Mr Deutsch not only knows his
field and is completely capable of making presentations concerning it,
he also lives it, and speaks from personal experience rather than
simply observations of others.”

“Rick’s presentation is superb, well rounded, inspirational and
informative. His knowledge, candor and sense of humor won over

Polly Bolling, REI Bay Area
Outreach Specialist
