Vincent's Speeches and Videos
Speeches
Most speakers are boring. While that's acceptable for a big-name corporate speaker it's death for most seminars and tradeshows.
Vincent is not another boring speaker.
I'm Not Another Boring Speaker.
As one Fortune 100 company executive stated, "(Vincent's) an extremely entertaining speaker who provides clarity through hilarity -- educating an audience while entertaining them." Vincent also provides more "serious" (well, they're still not boring) seminars and training on web design.

Published Writings
Articles
My current interest is fundraising management with an emphasis on major gifts, prospect research and grant writing, but I've spent most of my career in other areas.
While I've worked as a marketer, webmaster, and direct mail/database specialist, writing has been my background for over twenty years. Here are some samples.
Access to Wang Magazine.
I spent a number of years (1984-1990) working for what ended up being known as Access to Wang, a vertical market computer magazine that covered the Wang minicomputer marketplace. Here are some of the Special Reports and articles I wrote.
- Wang's Integrated Products (1986).
- Wang Word Processing from A-Z (1987.
- Wang OFFICE (1988).
- High Notes and Low Notes (1989).
- Rumor Column Self-explanatory.
Books
I've written two best-selling books on web design that definitely aren't boring.
