Recommendations for Shak
Not only was your address insightful, respectful and convincing, it was emotionally
moving because of the real pro-life decision joyfully made by you and your wife, Robin
+Michael G. Duca, Bishop of Shreveport, LA
It is my pleasure to present and recommend Shak Hill as a speaker on Life Issues and
the Catholic Church. I have known Shak, his wife Robin and each of their children for
many years and I am well aware of their personal story when faced with Life issues and
their undying commitment to the truth of the Faith and active participation in the life of
their parish. I have witnessed his presentation style and heard its content, and I know
of the overwhelmingly positive response of others to his convention speech in our
diocese in February of this year, such favorable responses from my bishop (who invited
him to speak), brother priests, the Diocesan Pro Life Committee and all their many
workers and my parishioners. He is a gifted speaker with a natural ability to inspire.
I fully endorse the work Shak and Robin have done to explain and personally witness to
Pro Life issues from a Catholic perspective. I trust many people will not only benefit
from but deeply enjoy his presentations.
With gratitude for your consideration, I am
Rev. Peter B. Mangum, Rector

Shak is a dynamic speaker concerned about family and children. As a home schooling
father, he can inspire parents to take responsibility for their children's education. I
recommend him highly as he tells his story of his Catholic faith and fidelity to God's will.

Shak is the real deal! A dynamic speaker who tells it like it is and doesn't pull any
punches.

Shak Hill is a principled warrior for those causes he believes in. He is a military hero, a
staunch Catholic, and a shining example of what it means to be an American father.
Simply put, he is a man of faith who says what he means and means what he says. His
speeches are powerful, impassioned, and engaging.

I do not think I have ever heard a better lecture on the U.S. Constitution than the one
Shak gave to the Shenandoah Valley Constitutional Conservatives in April, 2014 in Mt.
Jackson, VA. It was riveting and spot on!

In this day, speakers and public figures dodge key issues too often in an attempt to
make themselves look good all the time. You never take the easy road in
communicating your beliefs but, at the same time, do it in a caring and empathetic way.
Keep up the good work and words and you will fill up the room every time.

Shak's public speaking skills are excellent. In the political arena, and most any arena,
most speeches and speech presentation are lackluster and boring. The content may be
very good but it is not presented in an engaging maker. Shak has overcome that status
quo of political speeches and is able to present motivating and engaging speeches.

Shak Hill has a compelling story of service and sacrifice. He is able to relate with his
audience in a sincere, meaningful manner that inspires and gives hope for our future.

Shak's exceptional speaking ability energizes audiences to believe in him and any
message he carries!

I've heard Shak speak several times. He's enthusiastic, articulate, and a great defender
of the family and the Constitution. Does that sound dry? It's anything but because Shak
has a sharp wit and a keen sense of humor that make his talks funny and enjoyable, as
well as instructive. Include him in your next event for a great experience

Mr. Hill is an engaging speaker who offers a realistic and refreshing perspective on the
challenges that face our generation. His story, his commitment, and his grasp of today's
issues are impressive - and his ability to connect with the hearer is invaluable.

During his campaign for U. S. Senate, I saw first-hand Shak speak before dozens of
meetings around Virginia. His inspiring message and passionate delivery electrified
throngs of our conservative activists. I highly recommend him as a speaker.
Russ Moulton
CEO, JRM Technologies
Shak is one of the best public speakers that I know. He can electrify a crowd, and he
quickly captures the hearts and minds of his audience with real-life experiences and
direct accounts of his professional and personal life. As we are both military veterans,
we both share a common love and patriotic fervor for our country. Shak would strongly
benefit any organization in a public speaking role.

Former Candidate for U.S. Senate and U.S. House from Virginia
Simply put, I was truly impressed by Shak. I have been to literally hundreds of
workshops and speakers on many topics over the years and Shak is by far one of the
best. He is great in front of any group and he makes everybody like him. Shak teaches
a lot all the while you are entertained. Thank you for a great experience.

Shak enters the room with enthusiasm and a positive, uplifting vigor to his speeches
that quickly gets an audience's attention. He focuses on the topic and solutions. He
encourages his audience to stop being the laid-back doormats that have let others walk
all over them, and gives real examples on how to deal with countering those who are
trying to defeat our conservative values.
Deborah Fordham, Fordham Services
Shak is a talented orator who exudes the principles about which he speaks. I had the
pleasure of campaigning along side Shak in 2014, and he always delivered phenomenal
stump speeches that not only electrified crowds, but educated listeners in an enjoyable
and engaging fashion. What's more important than what he says with his words is what
he says with his heart. Shak exudes sincerity and passion, and the audience can tell he
is the genuine article - something increasingly rare in this day and age.

Shak is an inspirational leader and shares insights and wisdom that are worth listening
to and reflecting on. A breath of fresh air in these trying times.

Shak has the ability to envelope you in the conversation and make you a part of the
story. I found him to be very personable and extremely easy to approach. The way he
reaches an individual makes you want to be a better person.
