We are thrilled to once again host Greg Johnson, The Tornado Hunter for a speaker event filled with amazing photography and storytelling. Greg is truly that guy that runs/drives toward the tornado while most of us go the other way. He is an entertaining speaker without a doubt.
A firm believer in the ‘Bucket List’ philosophy, Greg’s mission is to inspire others to chase their own passions, while sharing and teaching the lessons he has learned from pursuing his. Recently, Greg was selected as one of Canada’s top 100 explorers by Canadian Geographic Magazine and he was featured in the CBC radio and tv series, Canada Reads. Greg's show was sold out last time and you don't want to miss out, get your tix today!
