Journalist, stand-up comic, janitor, theater performer, electronics technician, small-business consultant, public affairs specialist, and disco dance instructor. John Verrico still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up, but has learned not to take life too seriously and to experience everything life has to offer. Former president of the National Association of Government Communicators and retired Navy Master Chief with more than 40 years of experience as a communication professional in media, community, and employee relations, John Verrico founded Share Your Fire, LLC, and is now a high-energy, thought-provoking, and humorously nerdy international speaker and leadership coach providing workshops on communication, motivation, resilience, and balance. He earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and a Bachelor’s in communication.
