"We do have Today"
As a public speaker, jazz drummer, writer, and poet, Jym Marks personifies the principles of personal empowerment and delivers a stirring message in his lecture series:
“Seeing What You’re Looking At”. A long time resident of the Bay Area, father of four, and Army veteran, Jym offers a poetic view of life and the lessons it teaches us. His own life experiences include service in the United States Army where he overcame a reading deficit. As a result of his efforts, he discovered a love for reading and became an avid reader. In addition, Jym developed a keen interest in music.
