About your host — a speaker whose presence captures the room.

Public Speaker, Host and Poet.

Judson started as a poetry instructor and poet, sharing his poems on stages for years. That path led him into event hosting and public speaking on some of the world’s most influential stages, including TEDx Pontiac, TEDx Detroit, and the annual Men of Literature.

He brings a witty, sultry, resonant, and charismatic professional presence that ignites energy in the room and leaves audiences remembering his talks long after the event ends.
