Highlights AND
TESTIMONIALS:
“Garrett shares a capturing and compelling personal story on the importance of eating healthy food and promises it can actually taste great too! As a speaker, Garrett has the ability to take you away with him. You’ll feel like you are actually at the Olympics as he tells his story. Plus he has great culinary stories to share about his travels. Overall, Garrett is very professional and extremely personable. Thank you again, Garrett, for everything! We hope to have you back in the future. ” Eric Edwards, M.S. Student Union Program Manager – University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
“Garrett was a great addition to the VIP Lounge (exclusively for Visa/Chase card members) in London, UK during the 2012 Games. His engaging and candid demeanor was well received by all of the guests in attendance and he was able to relate to a diverse group of cardmember guests. Garrett would be a valuable addition to any event.”

“Garrett Weber-Gale, Olympic Gold-Medalist, hosted the USA Swimming Foundation’s Gold Medal Dining Event in NYC in February 2012. He went above and beyond to create an event beyond our expectations. Garrett secured such top chefs as David Bouley, Daniel Humm, Daniel Boulud, Tom Colicchio, and Florian Bellanger, who volunteered their time to make this a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experience for the attendees and raise funds for the USA Swimming Foundation. The event exceeded everyone’s expectations. Due to Garrett’s commitment to excellence, friendships, and passion for good, healthy food and excellent wine, it was truly a magical evening. We can’t thank him enough for his commitment to making this one of the best fundraising events the USA Swimming Foundation has ever hosted.”
Debbie Hesse
Executive Director, USA Swimming Foundation

“Garrett Weber-Gale enthusiastically served as the keynote speaker for the 150th anniversary celebration of the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee. As a youth, Garrett was a member of the aquatic center run by the Y. His personal connection to the Y made his participation in the celebration even more exciting for those who attended. Garrett shared with the crowd his personal commitment to healthy living, the importance of feeding your body so it is able to perform at its best, and the role the Y played in helping him understand the link between spirit, mind, and body. We were thrilled to have him join us for this momentous occasion.”
