John Verrico

Journalist, stand-up comic, janitor, theater performer, electronics technician, small-business consultant, public affairs specialist, and disco dance instructor. John Verrico still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up, but has learned not to take life too seriously and to experience everything life has to offer. Drawing from a more than 42-year career as a communication professional in government agencies focused on media, community, and employee relations, John Verrico founded Share Your Fire, LLC, and is now a high-energy, thought-provoking, and humorously nerdy international speaker and leadership coach providing workshops on communication, motivation, resilience, and balance. He is former president of the National Association of Government Communicators and a retired Navy Master Chief, earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and a Bachelor’s in communication.
