I am a speaker, wilderness guide, poet, and dog musher. Spirited sled dogs, steep canyon walls, and the power of the Northwoods have shaped my lifelong connection to the natural world—my greatest teacher. For more than 20 years, I’ve brought what I’ve learned from that relationship to stages around the country, inviting people to think differently and explore leadership, resilience, belonging, and connection in new ways.

My stories begin with hilarious sled dogs and wild places, but lead somewhere much closer to home—inviting us to pause, pay attention, and see what might otherwise be missed.

I believe we each have a Wild side—a longing to live more wholeheartedly. My hope is simple: to wake something up. To help people see themselves and the world around them with fresh eyes—and leave more curious, connected, and courageous: willing to listen deeply, honor what makes each of us different, and trust the unfolding.

Chris Heeter

Its easy to get caught in the cycle of doing—managing details, reacting to the next urgent demand. But what would happen if you paused? If you took a moment to remember why you do this work in the first place?
In this powerful and immersive keynote, Chris invites you to reconnect with your deeper purpose: Your Wild Why.  This session creates space to reflect, re-ground, and reimagine your role.
Using the natural world as both mirror and mentor, Chris’ stories inspire fresh perspectives on resilience and meaningful work. This isn’t a lecture. It’s
an experience.

“Chris was the keynote speaker at Medtronic's annual Global Supply Management
Conference and she was fantastic! After two full days of the Conference, I expected
attendees to be on their phones and laptops, however, all eyes and ears were on Chris as
she talked to us about working Wild. Chris connected with the audience and challenged
us to think differently. She hit it out of the park with our team!”

Sharon Jones - Medtronic

“Chris’ keynote (immersive experience), was one of the highlights of our event. Attendees
described it as phenomenal and amazing! Chris speaks from the heart, with wisdom and
care, and that connection was felt by everyone in the room.
”

"Whether you're a 17-year-old employee just starting out or a seasoned professional,

more awareness, and more freedom.
Chris, you nailed it!"

Suzanne Horstman - Home and Community Options

The Tyson Hanes Band

"We can't say enough good things about Tyson Hanes. He came to Wisconsin for our wedding and absolutely crushed it. From the first song to the last, he had the crowd engaged and the dance floor packed the entire night. We gave him a long list of requested songs, and he nailed them all. He even went above and beyond by learning "Wondering Why" by the Red Clay Strays for our first dance, which meant a lot to us and turned out perfect. Tyson is not only incredibly talented, but he knows how to read a crowd and keep the energy exactly where it needs to be. Multiple guests told us it was hands down the best band they've ever seen. If you're looking for a wedding musician who is professional, easy to work with, and an amazing entertainer, Tyson is your guy. We would 100% recommend him to anyone."

Adam Tranberg - Owner, AR Tranberg Roofing LLC

"Whether the event is corporate or casual, the band delivers an electric, high-energy performance that keeps the crowd fully engaged. They are professional, easy to work with, and extremely crowd-aware, reading the room and adapting seamlessly. The experience feels interactive, as if you're helping choose the soundtrack for the night. An outstanding group that knows how to create moments people remember."

Tim Ravet - CEO, Tarp-It Inc.

"We saw Tyson on Broadway in Nashville. We loved his energy and how interactive with the crowd he was that we asked Tyson to perform for us at our yearly corporate party. He as performed at our event 3 times for more than two hundred people. Tyson has always been very courteous and has always got crowd participation in every set. In between sets he love to talk with crowd and get input for next set. Overall Tyson has alway put on a great show and people love him. I personally would recommend for everyone to see!"

Kurt Hough - President, H & H Drywall

"I met Tyson randomly in a Nashville Honky Tonk and grabbed a card from him. Since that time he's played twice at private Christmas parties my wife and I have held for friends from around the country in Franklin. Tyson and his band have been the highlight of each of the parties after the fellowship! Great music and Tyson understands and manages the party's mood. He's played songs my friends have requested including the all time banger Kung Fu Fighting which he and his band learned during a break! He's great to work with, extremely helpful and accommodating and I couldn't recommend him more. He will always be the band for my wife and me so long as we have these parties!"

Jon Knouse - Chief Property Officer (CEO), Dual Insurance

Tyson Hanes is hands down one of the best entertainers we've ever had, and he absolutely crushed it at the Nest Mortgage Group Christmas party. From the moment he started singing, he had the entire room engaged. His voice is incredible, his stage presence is electric, and he knows exactly how to read a crowd and keep the energy high all night long. Tyson didn't just perform, he created an experience. People were singing along, dancing, and talking about his set long after the night ended. Professional, talented, and genuinely fun to work with, he exceeded every expectation we had. If you're looking for someone who will elevate your event and leave your guests raving, Tyson Hanes is a must-book. We would absolutely have him back and recommend him without hesitation.

Brad Niccum - CEO, Nest Mortgage

If you're looking for a band that brings nonstop energy, incredible talent, and a crowd-pleasing experience, the Tyson Hanes Band absolutely delivers. From the very first song, they had our party buzzing with excitement and kept the momentum going all night long.

One of the standout highlights was their ability to take song requests on the fly; whether in the heart of Nashville or at an intimate private event, they make every performance feel customized and personal. Their musical genre versatility truly set them apart, effortlessly reading the crowd and dialing in exactly the right vibe.

The musicianship is top-notch, the vocals are powerful, and the overall stage presence is electric. This is the kind of band that doesn't just play music; they create an experience.

Without hesitation, we give the Tyson Hanes Band a full 5-star review, and we would absolutely hire them again for our next private party. If you want a memorable night with high energy and outstanding live music, this band is the real deal.

Jason Sherman - CEO & Co-Founder | Spectrum Retirement Solutions

"Our guests are still talking about how great the Tyson Hanes Band was at our event in Nashville! The interaction with our guests was off charts!!! When you can get 600 people off their feet and all dancing and singing with a band like this, well, it just became the talk of the conference and the year, our next big event in Nashville, this is the go to entertainment choice, just pros through and through!"

Alan Wilson - National Program Director | GLJ Benefit Consultants, Inc.

"Tyson and his band performed at our wedding and kicked the night off with a bang! Everyone absolutely loved them and they brought so much energy that carried through for the rest of the night! Can't recommend them enough for any event or party. They sing a broad range of music from rock to rap that is perfect for guests from all different backgrounds and will keep your dance floor full all night long. He was incredible to work with and was quick on resonding and coordinating throught the planning process. Truly one of my favorite parts of our wedding celebration and can't wait to see him and the guys on our next Broadway visit to Nashville! Thanks Tyson!!"

Rebecca Massie - Wedding

From strings at the ceremony, to piano sign alongs at cocktail, and a band that kept the party going all night long I would highly recommend Tyson for any event!"

Katie Kelly - Wedding

"Tyson and the band are hands-down the BEST performers! We've had them play at two family weddings - one in Maine and one in the BVI - and they bring the party every time! Young and old are on the dance floor all night! They are total professionals and can sing just about anything (and will happily learn it if he doesn't already know it!) Can't wait for the next big event so we can fly him in again!"

I was blown away by Cliff's Catalyst presentation at the ASAE Annual Meeting. As a songwriter, he brought a unique perspective to creativity and innovation that I've never encountered before. What set his session apart was the hands-on experience of actually writing a song together. It was so much fun to see how Cliff broke down the creative process into manageable steps, making it accessible to everyone including those of us in the room who have little to no musical background. Cliff's keynote was more than just a presentation. It was inspiring, fun, entertaining, and educational.

Illustration styles can be tailored to the age group, tone and needs of each project, with artwork prepared for print or digital publication.

Create a one-of-a-kind portrait from your favorite photographs. I offer custom portraits of individuals, couples, families and pets in a variety of styles and mediums, from expressive line art and watercolor to detailed painted portraits. With decades of professional portrait and illustration experience, I specialize in capturing a recognizable likeness while creating artwork that feels warm, flattering and personal. Portraits are perfect for wedding and anniversary gifts, memorials, family keepsakes, corporate gifts and other meaningful occasions.

Give your guests something to do, watch and take home. I provide interactive live art entertainment for corporate events, conferences, conventions, trade shows, employee celebrations and brand activations. With more than 27 years of live-event experience, I’m comfortable entertaining large crowds and can draw approximately 25–30 faces per hour. My experience includes events for major national brands and organizations, and I understand the professionalism corporate clients expect. Traditional and digital options are available, including projected digital drawing for an even more interactive guest experience.

Corporate Event Entertainment

Capture your event as it unfolds with an original painting created live on location. I paint weddings, corporate events, celebrations and special occasions, transforming the people, atmosphere and meaningful details of the day into a one-of-a-kind work of art. Guests enjoy watching the painting develop throughout the event, making the creative process part of the entertainment. With decades of professional art and live-event experience, I bring both artistic skill and the professionalism needed to work seamlessly within an event.

Live Event Painter

Transform a wall or space with original artwork designed specifically for your organization, business or community. I create custom murals for businesses, schools, churches, restaurants, event venues and other public or private spaces. Designs can incorporate people, characters, local themes, branding or storytelling elements and are developed to complement the space and the client’s vision. With decades of professional art and illustration experience, I can take a project from the initial concept and sketches through the finished mural.

Mural Artist

Who knew a caricature artist had a fine art background? I actually majored in painting in college, and when it comes to art, painting was my first love. As a live wedding painter, I bring that fine-art background to your celebration, creating an original painting as your wedding unfolds. Guests can watch the artwork come to life throughout the reception while I capture the couple, setting and meaningful details that make the day uniquely yours. At the end, the couple has more than a beautiful painting. They have an original work of art created during one of the most important days of their lives.
