Motivational Speakers

There is no other way to describe it but bone chilling and riveting, to face and hear about the realities of life inside a maximum security prison, as you sit on the edge of your chairs listening to former warden Jim Bruton, speak about PRISON, from the INSIDE. ----OR----

maybe you would rather become entertained and engrossed in your passions for your beloved Minnesota Vikings Football Team, as you step to the inside of the organization, and learn about 46 years of football in purple, from author Jim Bruton, as he writes about A TRADITION OF PURPLE: An Inside Look at the Minnesota Vikings.

LIFE INSIDE THE BIG HOUSE... .OR... .Minnesota Vikings Football (from former prison warden and author, Jim Bruton)

Jim Bruton is an accomplished speaker and author. He has a Bachelors Degree from the University of Minnesota and a Masters Degree from the University of St. Thomas. He was the warden of Minnesota's maximum security prison at Oak Park Heights before retirement, and spent 35 years in the field of corrections. Jim is the author of THE BIG HOUSE: Life Inside a Supermax Security Prison by Voyageur Press, and A TRADITION OF PURPLE: An inside Look at the Minnesota Vikings by Sports Publishing. Bruton's professional football career was short lived with the Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys, however his memorable and stimulating look at 46 years of Viking football captures the heart and soul of the organization, in a heartwarming and inspirational look at the beloved Purple.

Whether your curiosity lies with the perils of the criminal mind, within the depths of a maximum security prison, or with an allegiance toward professional football, Jim's speaking style is an entertaining, audience engaging approach that provides wit, humor, and great anecdotal stories and memories. You "walk with the warden" through the stark corridors and maximum security cell blocks, coming face to face with the realities of the most violent and dangerous prisoners, as the "warden tells all"... ... ... or you can travel with Jim through the past 46 years of Viking glory and truly delight in the great coaches, players, and leaders that have made the organization a regional icon for Viking faithful. You will recall the great memories from the past and hear accounts never told before, as A TRADITION OF PURPLE brings you closer than ever to the enormity, passion and grandeur of the Minnesota Vikings.

Jim's speaking bond and interaction with his audience is extraordinary, and leaves listeners wanting more stories, anecdotes, and a thirst for more enjoyment, humor and entertainment. Perhaps the very best of all accolades and compliments bestowed from an audience is the desire to have a speaker return for another engagement. Jim's speaking history is full of these gratifying requests of "we want you back" to be part of our program again!"
