|
Dave Pelzer, best-selling author of A Child Called "It," The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave, is a living testament to resilience, faith in humanity, and personal responsibility. These qualities helped him to endure and overcome one of the most severe child abuse cases in the history of California, and throughout his life, Pelzer has been fiercely determined to better himself and achieve his dreams - no matter what the odds.He has gone on to become a member of one of the Air Force's most elite groups and was named one of the country's "Ten Outstanding Young Americans," an honor shared with such illustrious alumni as John F. Kennedy, Orson Welles, Walt Disney, and Nelson Rockefeller.
Pelzer's journey from his painful childhood to the outstanding victories he has experienced as an adult is the inspiration for his highly-acclaimed bestsellers A Child Called "It," which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, The Lost Boy, and his latest A Man Named Dave. Pelzer is the first person to have three books simultaneously on The New York Times Best Sellers List.
Dave Pelzer brings his remarkable story to the lecture podium for an inspiring look at resilience and responsibility. Refusing to dwell on the past, he offers a poignant message about overcoming life's obstacles, and accepting accountability for one's future path. Recognized as one of the nation's most effective communicators and often called the "Robin Williams with glasses," Pelzer infuses his presentation with humor and warmth to empower audiences to meet professional and personal challenges head-on.
