"Definitely not an expensive celebrity talking head with a power point slide show"
“You are, without a doubt, the very best available in the marketplace in both bringing people to our shows and having them leave the show better informed and happy that they attended. You are truly blessed with a presentation technique that I seldom find in others. I wandered on to your stage area for brief visit. After 30 minutes, I was still there, mesmerized by your presentation. I generally do not find speakers that actually bring people to our show; you are the exception! Your presence alone brings people to the shows. From the professional set you bring to the show, to the dynamic fast paced presentations you do, you are a definite asset to the show.”
"I have had the distinct please of working with Brian Santos, "The Wall Wizard", for over 20 years. During those years I have utilized Brian in many shows throughout the country. He is creatives, educational, entertaining, and professional. He consistently draws a significant crowd. I book him because his material is always fresh, timely, and interesting; he always leaves a stage to resounding applause. His show is completely self contained and trouble free. Brian does not suffer from the "prima donna" sydrome found in many other celebrities on the Home Show circuit. I strongly recomend him to anyone who needs s high quality, trouble free, high impact feature for your show.=
"I have been fortunate enough to work with many talented professionals throughout the 10 years that I have worked for the Southern Utah Home Builders Association. I highly recommend Brian as one of the top presenters that I have worked with over the years. Throughout the entire process of dealing with Brian Santos, it was a pleasure! He is extremely organized and made excellent suggestions to smooth the process. Our goal was to add education value in order to attract additional visitors and increase their stay at our event. Both of these goals were accomplished thanks to Brian and his "edutating" workshop experience. He exceeded our expectations!"
