|
Having worked as a special-education teacher and private school founder, steelworker, musician, assistant pastor, carpenter, among other things, Banister has literally done it all. Aside from portraying historical characters, he can speak on family life and parenting, marriage, leadership and motivation. Banister has experience working with troubled youth and the learning disabled. Given his work founding a private Christian school and his Master's degree in education, Banister is well-qualified to work with children and teenagers. In fact, kids can't get enough of his antics, especially when he pulls out one of his many props and goes to work! A mountain man himself, Banister's experiences living without running water in a log cabin in Colorado, as well as his time as a wilderness trainer combine to make him an extraordinary motivational speaker. Banister also does several composite characters including a Revolutionary War soldier, a Civil War soldier, The Workin' Man, and a Shepherd's View of The 23rd Psalm. All of Banister's characterizations, speeches and portrayals show his genuine care for the people in his audience, and his passions for teaching and helping people grow are evident from his performances. Having been featured on the local Richmond news and on Virginia Currents television broadcast, Banister's notoriety continues to grow. Rarely do we encounter such a gifted and versatile man as Lamar Banister. Speaking Topics:
