Dear PTO Members and Principles,

Perhaps you recall, my documentary King Gimp, winner of an Academy Award. Since then I have made two additional short films and graduated from Towson University with a Masters in Fine Arts. For the past several years I have also spoken nationally on issues of disability and art, but more importantly to find one’s passion and make a change on the world.

As a guest lecturer or speaker, I generally show one of the films about my life, speak and answer questions. I hope you will be interested in sharing the rich diversity of my life with your staff and students. I am enclosing some additional information about myself - yes, I was the star of a super bowl commercial and even flown to Chile last year as a key note speaker.
I can be reached by e-mail at: dan@kinggimp.com

Also, check out the following websites for more information.

I look forward to hearing from you and the possibility of sharing the extraordinary world of my journey.

Sincerely,
Dan Keplinger
