Terrific presentation... very well received... Dan's knowledge was far reaching, and he really provided a solid foundation of understanding and product ideas from which we could move forward. I would recommend this presentation to any homebuilder who is looking to improve the environment, sell their initiatives, value engineer, and think out of the box.

Dan Chiras was the keynote speaker for our Re-energizing America: Choices for Our Future conference. His speech… helped to set the tone for the conference and its workshops, and we appreciated his sense of humor. We would recommend Dr. Chiras as a speaker at other similar events.

Energetic… very engaging and encouraging… I appreciated his humor and compassion… He reminded us that it is not only up to educators to teach our children to respect our earth, but the job of parents and loved ones as well… We really enjoyed having Dan.
