Joe Wiegand provides a humorous and informative presentation as America's 26th President Theodore Roosevelt. Perfect for Centennial Celebrations.  Excellent for Corporate Leadership Seminars. Ideal for Theatres as a one man show.

Whether recalling the adventures of Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the Cuban-American War or recounting the establishment of America's great National Parks and Monuments, this Teddy Roosevelt brings Turn-of-the-Century  American history to life with wit and charm.
 

  • Athletic Events - President Roosevelt helped save college football as we know it.  As President, T.R. participated in impromptu boxing matches with Army staff and important issues were often discussed in the midst of fierce lawn tennis games in the White House back yard.  Your athletic organization will enjoy the tales of T.R., the man who championed sport as a builder of character.

  • Colleges and Universities- This son of Harvard spent much of his life engaged in a conversation with America's Academy.  Roosevelt wrote over thirty books ranging from issues historical to ornithological, and spoke of issues of timeless interest to the American university community.

  • Corporate - The Rooseveltian Square Deal had a major impact on the way we do business in America.  Hear wonderful insights on Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie by the President who worked with and against them.  Roosevelt on Leadership is a premier business product.

  • Family Life - As one of four siblings and father of six children, T.R. reigned over one of the noisiest, most child friendly White House Administrations.  A product of the Victorian Era, T.R. held that the responsibilities of home and hearth, especially child rearing, were the most important for modern Americans.  Laugh and smile as T.R. recounts stories from his own childhood as well as tales of his own parenting adventures.

  • Hunting and Sportsmen's Clubs - The most prolific hunter, outdoorsman and conservationist ever to serve as president, T.R.'s tales of life in the West and of his big game hunts in Africa and South America will have your members on the edge of their seats and rolling in the aisles.

  • Law Enforcement - Serving as the President of the Police Commission in New York City, where his reforms professionalized the force, T.R.'s requirement that New York policemen demonstrate proficiency in the use of a standard issue firearm heralded the dawn of the modern police academy.  Rock with delight as T.R. recounts his stories of roaming Manhattan in the middle of the night to ensure that officers were on duty and that the laws were fairly enforced.

  • Military and Veteran Organizations - Not only was T.R. a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army during the Cuban-American War, he was the Deputy Secretary of the Navy before the war and is credited as the father of the modern American Navy.  Your troops and your colleagues in veterans organizations will enjoy the many tales of T.R. the military man.
