Gary Mckechnie Email & Phone Number

• As a speaker, my keynote presentation 'Shifting Gears' is based on a lifetime of multiple careers -- most significantly as a motorcycle journalist -- and focuses on viewing change not as a source of anxiety, but adrenaline. Additional talks are based on inspirational stories from our nation's history and relate to leadership, teamwork, and success; all gleaned from my work as a National Geographic author and my book ‘USA 101’ which profiled 101 uniquely American places, events, and festivals. Visit garymckechnie.com to learn more about these and other talks -- including 'Beatles, Inc.' which examines how The Beatles' intrinsic awareness of foundational business lessons can help organizations, corporations, and team members recognize key areas to focus on in an entertaining music- and video-filled presentation.• I also speak at sea aboard the ships of Seabourn, Silversea, and the renowned Cunard line where I'm a member of the prestigious Insight Series. My time at sea follow decades as a feature and travel writer and subsequent selection by the Motorcycle Industry Council as their rider/writer on the San Diego-New York City Cannon Ball Centennial Ride. My stories have appeared in National Geographic Traveler, the Washington Post, Orlando Magazine, Florida Magazine, Chicago Tribune, Atlanta Constitution, Orlando Sentinel, Miami Herald, United Airlines' Hemispheres and numerous other publications. Additionally, my feature articles and books have received Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Awards which is considered the ‘Pulitzer Prize of Travel Writing’.• Traveling America on a motorcycle suggests the accomplishment of a pretty significant goal: being paid to do what you would do for free. Even more, my travels are also reconnaissance missions to discover more stories of the American Spirit to be shared with others across the United States.• For more information, please visit garymckechnie.com
