About the Presenter: Hello, my name is Brian, and I am a GEEK.
Today, this once derogatory term often serves as a badge of honor for myself and for many of our gifted kids. Growing up in gifted programs during the 1970s and 1980s, I was provided with opportunities to develop my creativity, interests, and talents. As an adolescent in the 1980s terms like geek or nerd were hardly a symbol to be celebrated, but it was growing up in gifted programs that helped me to find solace, understanding, and ultimately empowerment. As a result of these experiences, I have devoted my life to advocating for gifted education.
