“As the staff liaison to this prestigious group of hoteliers for the
past 15 years, your keynote luncheon address was, by far, one of the most
dynamic and exceptional presentations the Resort Committee has ever had.
Your wealth of experience and knowledge is presented in such an entertaining
and intriguing way, and your enthusiasm is contagious. You certainly left
the audience wanting more.”
Lou Ann Hill
Senior Director Executive & Board Administration
American Hotel & Lodging Association
“You were a pleasure to work with and your
presentations were fascinating to everyone. They
were so popular that we had to switch stages from a
smaller to a larger for your second and third
presentations. Because of your particular background
as both a chef and having worked in the White House
you added a dimension to the cooking demonstrations
that most chefs just do not have. Not only did you
teach them something but you enriched them as well.”
Joan Nathan
Director The Smithsonian Folk Life Festival
“I know since your departure from the White House you will have
many opportunities to find employment as a chef, but I sincerely hope
that you will get out of the kitchen and get in front of an audience
because your stories and experience are so entertaining.”
Annabelle Gurwitch
Contributing writer at Day to Day on National Public Radio
“The industry needs more like you in the genre because you
represent a wonderful balance of both the strong kitchen work
ethic/creativity/skills combined with a great ‘people’ personality.”

"I have been in the business meetings and special events business
for 35 years and I thought I had seen it all. Chef Scheib broke new
ground and raised the bar on our future speaker and team building
expectations. He knew just how to appeal to the audience and he
customized the event so that it was more of a creative and gastronomic
evening that one of dicing, peeling and mixing. As I said before, they
wouldn’t let him go. He signed autographs, posed for pictures, shared
anecdotes and made everyone a fan. I could not recommend anyone more
highly…as a speaker, an originator of creative events and as a client
ambassador.”
