** Growing as a Leader ** During high school Ed was a student athlete and class leader. He was captain of his football and baseball teams, a member of student council, S.A.D.D., F.B.L.A. and other youth organizations. This led him to become one of the first inductees into his High School Hall of Fame. While attending the University of New Hampshire, Ed began to volunteer and speak at different schools and youth leadership conferences teaching workshops and giving keynote speeches on the topic of leadership. ** Making a Difference ** Inspired by working with youth and knowing that what he was teaching was making a difference, Ed decided in his junior year of college that speaking professionally was what he wanted to do for a living. As a result, when Ed graduated with his Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications he established his own business: Gerety Presentations at age 22.

** Helping Others to Excel ** Since that time Ed has spoken to audiences in all 50 states, Canada, and Europe. He is an experienced keynote speaker and leadership trainer at national youth leadership conferences, colleges and universities, and schools across the country, Ed is recognized for his unique ability to connect with audiences about real issues. Through his personal experiences, humor, and insights Ed teaches the principles and skills that are essential to the development of leaders. His powerful programs leave a lasting impact.
