Thank you for coming!  You were great and the kids would not stop talking about you and how much they liked your show!!  Even the staff were asking if you were coming back again!  July 2008 OCPR Summer Camp Kids

We had Chief do a show for our twins 8 year old birthday party.  It was awesome!  Our boys LOVED it as did all of the other kids and adults.  I have never had so many parents rave about a party, and several kids said it was the best birthday party ever.  Chief was so patient while all of the kids held the snakes and we took pictures. It was truly a memorable event.  Thanks Chief!  June 2008

Thanks again for coming to show our seniors and children in the area your show.  We still are getting comments from this today. You did a great job and we had a very successful turnout as well.  We would highly recommend you to perform this show to everyone.  Thanks again!!  OCPR Renaissance Senior Center Staff  March 2008

Hi Chief! Just wanted to thank you again for all of your effort in making the Windermere Elementary Science Night a HUGE success! You were HILARIOUS and the kids were thrilled - they are STILL talking about it! It was by far the most entertaining presentation I have ever seen and we will definitely have you back next year. Thanks again! Bill Martini March 2008

You were awesome!  I couldn't think of a better treat for the boys than you.  Everybody raved about you. Thanks again,  Debi  Scout #225 - March  2008

Dalton has absolutely loved the camps, day trips and movie days and especially the out of state trips. We will always be part of the Snake Education with a twist & ACF. Chief is part of our family now. He puts God first in the thing he does. He is a rare and wonderful  example to us and our children. He is an inspiration to all. Very sincerely,  Heather Vann, Ocoee, Fla. December 2007

Chief,  Thank you! I enjoyed it as much as last time. I have requested that each teacher submit testimonials to your web page. .... One of the teachers told me it was like snake education meets comedy central!  It was a blast. Thank you again, Kathy Weagraff,  Edgewood Ranch Nov. 2007

Thank you so much for your attendance at our Autumn Adventure. The scouts and parents really enjoyed your presentation! We will be organizing our annual Spring Fling soon for March of 2008 and we would love to have you attend that as well. We will let you know the exact date early next year. Sincerely, Benita Williams  October 6, 2007

Having worked with the same employer as Chief, I have had  the opportunity to watch him in action a number of times.  He has also done shows for my son's Boy Scout troop.  He is an excellent communicator who uses techniques to ensure that each child retains the information. They will leave knowing the differences between venomous and non-venomous species among other things!  He brings energy and makes everyone laugh while delivering his message and giving a hands on performance. He obviously loves what he does!  Chief - Keep up the good work!!!!  October 2007

"Chief Rowley was awesome! He kept all the kids attention with his interesting snake facts and his wonderfully corny jokes! Everyone was entertained, from kindergarteners to the freshman-- everyone had a great time--even the counselors loved it!    Jaime, camp counselor  Blanchard YMCA  June 2007

Hey CHIEF ... thanks for teaching me so much about the King Cobra. The pictures are great, the fang and shedding are awesome, and my teacher loved the presentation!  I learned a lot ... THANKS dude!! I can't wait to go on an outing. SSSSSSsssssssssseee U! :)   Jeffrey 12 old boy

Thank you so much for coming to our school. I have never had so much fun learning about snakes. I am sure the students had even a better time! I have never laughed so hard. All of the staff members and students present were laughing too. One staff member came to me after school to tell me what a great time she had! That has never happened when I have scheduled presentations for the entire school. Thank you again for coming to our school, Edgewood Ranch Academy, April 2007

the camping trip was fun and seeing all of those snakes up close was also really cool.  Jay 12 year old New camper Trip date April 21/22, 2007

Thanking you again for the great time you had exposed my son to. He really had a great time with all of you. Especially the meals that you cooked!!!! lol    Take care and have a great time on your adventures.......mother of a potential new camper of 11 years old.   March 2007

Well, we enjoyed having you...and look forward to having you out again!  Pamela, Oakland Avenue Charter School March 2007

Just wanted to let you know what a hit the show was in honor of my grandson's 10th birthday!  Not only did everyone learn something new, all were greatly entertained....laughter was abound in the room.:)  I was impressed that even the most frightened had warmed up to your legless critters by show's end.  THANK YOU for making my grandson's birthday so memorable!! .......Marie (Feb 18th, 2007 Brooksville)

Your show was a hit as always and they kept asking me about the worms, but I’ll never tell that it is planned!  We reviewed your snake info. on Tuesday and the kids remembered all of it.... I would also like to have you come and tell snake stories sometime in the spring. A PTA mom asked me also about you doing a show at Killarney so I’ll keep you posted on that.    Debbie, Killarney Elementary School February 2007

Hey Chief, thanks for the pictures. The trip was awesome. The food was good, the lake was cold and the fox was cute. Rosewell was dirty and the night was cold. That's the point of camping though. ...   sincerely,  Chris Varnadoe  current ACF Camper February 2007

hey chief, I had many great years with you and the trips were just great and I hope to see you again man I love you.  This ACF camper (now 14 years old)spent over 4 years in the program and now has moved West and is now much closer to the mountains. Nov. 2006

Hey,  this is <J.H.>- I contacted you about a month ago about the Pygmy Rattlesnakes.  First I would like to say thank you so much for your help.  I earned an A for the nine weeks project and the poster I made as a visual was voted the 'best'  in my class period -which actually earned me an A on the nine weeks exam- which brought my B, for the first nine weeks, up to an A   ...that's really good.  This is an advanced placement class- so it looks great to colleges, of course...   
 
Also my teacher told me that my presentation actually taught him a few things that he did not know...  He was very impressed and said that the presentation was the best Pygmy presentation he has ever seen.  So thank you, again for you help.
 
Just in case you have nothing better to do, I attached the finished power point that I used for my presentation to this e-mail.  In case you are bored.. You probably know most of what is included in the presentation,  but hey- you never know. ....  J.H.     Oct. 2006   College Student

You are so efficient, The boys and their parents loved you! Even the scouts who have seen you before had a great time - they love the jokes and the worm! I gave your name and information to pack 84, they should be calling soon if they haven't already! Great job! Mary Shubert  September 2006 Cub Scout Pack 823

Dear Chief, I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the show.  EVERYONE commented on what a wonderful presentation you gave. Max had a ton of fun. Thank you for making his 3rd birthday so special and educational.  Tonight after everyone left I asked Max what his favorite part of the party was and he said the “nakes” (that’s 3 year old for snakes!) He said that he liked kissing the snake because it was nice. You better watch out you may have some competition on your hands!   He really likes his snake skin. All of the other kids really liked going in the treasure box. You really made Max feel special on his special day.  I had such a wonderful time and will recommend your services to everyone that I know.  Thank you again.      Michelle Clinger   September 23, 2006

Thank you for a wonderful show at my son's birthday party.  He said that it was the best birthday he ever had.  You had my son and his friends laughing and at the same time, learning a lot about snakes. I was very fortunate to see your show at East Lake's camping trip and it was fantastic then too! I will highly recommend your show! Thank you, Carol Mobley  7/15/06

Thank you Chief Rowley for coming out to the Cub Scout Summer Day Camp 2006! We had 97 boys age 7-11 and you were able to keep them mesmerized for an hour! The snakes were great, educating the boys about all the snakes was fantastic! But their highlight was when you ate the worm, that really got them going!  They talked about you all week long, and now months later they are still talking about YOU! Great show, and great interaction! Thank you again, Mary Shubert, BSA Day Camp Director - Sandlake District.

It was a true pleasure to have you Chief!  The kids were talking about the show all night, they loved it!  You were very entertaining and educational.  I look forward to doing business with you again in the future!    God Bless     May 31, 2006

Hey Chief! The pictures are great if you have any old ones I would love to have those too. Thank you again for a great time. Once again, an adventure of a lifetime. Thank you  May 27th Trip 06

Out of all the ACF Trips I have been on this is the best I have ever been on.  This is the most fun I have had in my whole life.  13 year old ACF Camper, June 2006 TN Trip (Camper of 4 years)

And again to you, Great Presentation! There is a lot of talk on the dock already about how good it was, and very entertaining. I'll be sharing your info with my peers, hope it will send more business your way. Thanks  Progress Energy May 24, 2006

Our annual Family Fest Scout show was the BEST with your snake show. You were able to hold the attention of a group of kids for nearly an hour with no problem and your way of teaching snake safety is really simple.  Thanks for the time, you did a great job!    Mike Palvisak  5/10/06  Boy Scouts

Dear "Chief" Rowley, I want to thank you for coming out to our school and providing such an entertaining and educational show on snakes. Our students loved every minute. Thanks again. Diane Johnson/Chickasaw Elementary School May 2006.

YOU WERE AWESOME!!! You were the hit of the campout and I am serious!! I had two different parents say they wish you did birthday parties. I thought I would find out if you did and pass it on. Your program was not only educational, but extremely entertaining!! The adults were so impressed and we all know the kids were. Anyway, we will visit your web site and put in some good words....... Anyway, thanks so much and I will continue to pass out your card. Thanks again. Sincerely, Carolyn Butler   Hillcrest Elementary School April 2006

Hey, the show you put on for our fifth grade camping trip was just fantastic. I have heard nothing but good comments about the show from our parents and fellow teachers here at Dover Shores Elementary. You kept the students on their feet and the interest throughout the presentation was exciting. It made our trip memorable and something the students will never forget. Thanks again, Bob Bragg  Dover Shores Elementary School April 2006 

Hey Chief!  Your show at Camp Wewa for Lake Silver Elementary on April 7th was the Bomb!  We loved it!  It was educational, entertaining and FUNNY!  The kids and adults loved it!  Thanks so much for coming!  Lisa Shaw  April 2006

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSnake show. You did an outstanding job. It was fun for young and older alike. Your presentation and education skills are outstanding! It was wonderful.               Thanks,    Bob Goff, a new snake fan!!     March 15, 2006

For several years now we have invited Todd “Chief” Rowley to educate our students at our overnight campouts.  He provides an exciting, insightful, educational, and humorous presentation on snake education.  He has the ability to captivate his audience as he explains critical, life-saving information.  I highly recommend “Chief” Rowley as a speaker for any environmental education campout you may be planning.”      Louis A. Murgia, NBCT,   Fifth Grade Teacher  at Hunter's Creek Elementary School   November 2005

...just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed your show very much.  You are one funny guy.  You had the attention of the children the entire time with your humor and presentation skills.  That is very hard to do in today's world.  I think the information was important and the students seemed to remember it very well.  If you ever want to come back and visit just my classroom with your stories and personal experiences, we would love to have you.  The students at Zellwood need to be surrounded by good role models (men especially).  Take Care and I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!       D. Toole, Zellwood Elementary School October 2005

I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of Boy Scout Troop/Pack 603. You and Greg put on the best show I have ever seen. The scouts as well as the parents were still talking about the show long after you left. What a way to finish the year off. I am interested in getting more information on a trip to the Ocala National Forest for the scouts, based on the incredible show you presented and the information on the web site this is something that we must do.............    Please send or e-mail any info you have so I can begin the process to plan the trip. Again on behalf of the Scouts and parents, thank you for a job well done,                          Scout Master Benny Jones        April 2005

thank you .. My husband told me he thought it might me a king snake but wasn't to sure... I appreciate your help.. I will be careful as you said ... have a nice day and thanks for a rapid reply.. are king snakes dangerous to small dogs?

Dear Chief,  I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible snake show you and your partner put on for Dalton's 9th Birthday Party.  Dalton has been glowing ever since.......               Heather Vann            August 2005

Hey Chief, the website is great and I will pass it on to others. Dalton is still talking about his awesome birthday and most of all... you. Thanks again Heather                Hope all is well for you talk to you soon ,Heather and Dalton      August 2005

Thank you for your quick reply.  I have heard wonderful things about your show.  I will be contacting you in August about the show.  I look forward to your presentation.
Diana Toole    July 2005

Can I work with you sometime at your shows? If yes, I could give you the snakes or put them away. Or I could help you catch snakes in peoples houses and yards. What is your favorite in the world? See You Later By Colin Green     July 2005

Wow Chief You are a Gold Mine! 

It really shows that Snakes  and Teaching others are you're Passion.
Everyone had wonderful things to say about  you're show and how nice you were with the kids before your show and during.
We loved how you kept all entertained, Adults & Kids.
Thank You so Much!!
 
The Abaloz Family: Mike, Kim , Michael and Gabrie     Nov. 2004

I know this is very short notice but tomorrow, Saturday, June 4th is Teddy’s birthday party.  We would love for you to come do your snake show for his party....

Dear Chief, your show was very entertaining for both my children and I.  I learned so much from the show.  The way you kept everyone glued to your every word was amazing.  You truly have a gift.

We cannot express enough gratitude for your investment in our community and, more importantly, in our children.     Orange County Library System

Wow, my son hasn't stopped talking about his camping trip with you.  The more he talks the closer I am to going myself.  It sounds like he had a great time.  I so look forward to the Closure Dinner so I can see the video and photos and hear from the other parents.  Thank you again.  You offered my son something I was unable to offer due to our situation. God Bless.

My son has told me so much about his trip with you and the other boys that I am very jealous.  He told me about the snake hunting, canoeing and cooking dinner Saturday night underground.  My son came home smelling of a campfire and I love it!  Thank you for allowing my son to be a boy around other boys outdoors with supervision.  Thank you again and I hope you keep him in mind for future trips.

Dear Chief, Awesome Show!  I wouldn't mind seeing another show like that.  I learned a lot from snakes too.   Ocoee Elementary School  4th grader   September 2002

Thank you Chief, now I like snakes even more than before.  Thank you for the show.   Ocoee Elementary School  4th grader  James  Sept. 02

Dear Chief, Thank you so much for sharing your snakes with our patrons.  I know they enjoyed the show. Many of them told me so after you left.  We appreciate you giving of your time for us.   Sincerely  Gina Hawthorne    West Oaks Library   January 2002

The best A.C.F. trip I've been on was when I went to the island. It was fun because I knew some of the other campers and I had never been on an island before and we saw some bones.  Doug Witt @ age 13 January 2002

Dear Chief Rowley, We enjoyed your presentation and learned lots of useful information about snakes!  Thank you so much for coming to our school and sharing your time and snakes with us.     Sincerely  Mrs. Herwig and her 4th & 5th graders    Sweetwater Episcopal Academy  April 2001

Dear Chief Rowley, thank you for showing us what to do if you see a snake especially a poisonous snake.  i enjoyed watching you and you were pretty funny.  Also I appreciate you giving us a U.S. ID with venomous snakes and good snakes.  I liked all the snakes.                  Metrowest Elementary School  3rd grader  Jonathan    Nov. 2000

Dear Mr. Rowley, AKA Chief.  Thank you so much for your incredible show for our children.  I have never had a presentation go so well in my years as a teacher.  You really knew how to keep the children focused and seated, when they weren't jumping from your enjoyable surprises.  Thank you again, it really was a wonderful show.       5th grade teacher  Killarney Elementary School

Dear Chief Rowley, Thank you for teaching me about snakes.  I Liked it when you taught me about the snakes you can't pick up because it's against the law.  I also liked it when you taught me which snakes are venomous and which ones aren't....Also, you are funny.  You know how to make kids laugh all night.                 Metrowest Elementary School  3rd grader  Kaleigh D.  Nov. 18, 2000

Dear Chief Rowley, You are funny.  You ate a worm.  I can't believe it. You probably will have to eat more worms for other classes.....                                       Metrowest Elementary School   3rd grader   Maria P.  Nov. 2000

Dear Mr. Snake Man, Thank you for coming to my school and my classroom.  I like snakes a lot more after you talked about them.  I will be careful when I am outside and make sure I have 2 of my friend with me if I go in the woods.  I like how funny you were.  You made me laugh loud and I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

I can't wait to go again.  I had a blast rafting on the river but my most fun thing was climbing in the cave for hours.  I want to go again when you take your next trip.  Can I help out on future trips?  I am learning so much and having more fun that ever.      13 year old boy

Dear Chief, Cool Show!  It was educational and entertaining.  When the teacher said we were going to a snake show, I kind of flinched.  I was one of those people who believed all snakes be wiped off the face of the earth.  Let's just say when I got home I asked if I could have a snake for a pet.  I learned so much I don't know where to begin..... I'm still far from working the snake shows at Gator Land, but I definitely have a new respect for snakes.                                                           Hunters Creek Middle School     7th grader   Ginny K.    Oct. 99

Thank you for spending your time with us.  I enjoyed the snakes it made me realize how important snakes are.  Now if I see one I won't kill it.  So, thank you for spending your time with us.       Hunters Creek Middle School        7th grader     Zach  K.    Oct. 99

Dear Chief, You're very funny.  You were so much fun to hear.  I thought you were the funniest guy that has ever taught about snakes because some people make it boring.  But you were funny.  You're the greatest. Hunters Creek Middle School 7th grader  Gianelle H.

Dear Uncle Chief, It was really funny when you came over.  I had a good time so did my friends.  You were really funny!  And all those jokes you put in every bag were really funny.   Thanks for coming, your friend   Hasnaa E.   Hunters Creek Middle School     7th grader  Oct. 99

Dear Chief, Thank you again for the absolute best and most informative presentation ever!.... Your presentation again was terrific as are you!  See ya next year   Ms. Morrison   Hunters Creek Middle School Oct. 1999
