Explore this keynoteThe federal employment-law updates and case law every HR, payroll, and management team needs, delivered by an SPHR who makes compliance memorable, and even inspiring.
Explore this keynoteKevin Macho has been making tough calls his whole life: behind home plate as a professional baseball umpire on regional and national TV, behind the microphone of the top-rated radio show he created and co-hosted, and behind the badge as an Oregon State Police Trooper of the Year, Police Medal recipient for courage, detective, and police leader.
He has built and led nine organizations, from a business he started in high school to a police department he rebuilt from the ground up. He holds the SPHR certification, a Master's Degree in Management, and a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, summa cum laude. He learned community policing the old way, as a Resident Trooper in his hometown, and today he teaches agencies how to bring that connected, effective policing back to the beat. And he's lived enough hard seasons to know they are where strength is made.
“He is a very engaging speaker, and when he spoke to our employees, the group was captivated by his style and presentation content. I would recommend Kevin for any event, conference, or training where you need to get an audience engaged and motivated.”
“Kevin is a solid professional who's easy to work with… He's been a great choice for our casino, and he'll be a great choice for your organization as well. I'd highly recommend him to train your staff or to give a keynote speech at any convention or event you may have.”
