Walkin' Jim Stoltz sings for TTEC

"Every day there is something that I experience that brings me joy, pauses me in wonder, amazes me in gratitude, thrills me in appreciation, and wraps me in beauty." Jim Stoltz

Walkin' Jim Stoltz is a long-distance hiker, artist, poet and musician and brought his beautiful songs and celebration of hiking to TTEC schools this past winter. His multi-media assemblies include sing-a-longs, stories and beautiful slides that are educational and entertaining, and left teachers and students with a greater appreciation of the environment and the Appalachian Trail.
