Conor Cunneen is IrishmanSpeaks.
This man is happily exiled in the Chicago area where he says the Guinness is good, the people are friendly and he has been force fed more corned beef and green beer than he ever had in Ireland.
Conor is a keynote speaker, an award winning humorist and the author of multiple books including two on Mark Twain.
His mission is to improve people, performance & productivity – with a Smile.
As an Irish immigrant, he is a very proud recipient of the President’s Gold Medal for Volunteer Service for the work he does with the unemployed.
Living in the Chicago area, he has happily suffered the slings and arrows of being a Packers fan – which, let's face it, Bears fans, has not been very hard!
He loves his darling wife, Pat, two adult kids and adores his two granddaughters.
He is a Metallica fan!
