Jerry Markbreit's position as Trade and Barter Manager for the 3M Company was unique in the business world. That position, combined with his experience as one of only sixteen National Football League Referees, has given him the background to develop an interesting and worthwhile message. Markbreit retired from the 3M Company after 38 years. In his position he negotiated and traded millions of dollars of advertising, media time, materials, etc. with businesses throughout the world.

Markbreit recently retired as an NFL referee after 23 seasons. Director of NFL Officiating Jerry Seeman said "Obviously, Jerry Markbreit was an outstanding referee. He was the epitome of what officiating in the NFL is all about." He refereed four Super Bowls: Super Bowl XVII between Washington and Miami, Super Bowl XXI between Denver and the New York Giants, Super Bowl XXVI between Buffalo and Washington, and Super Bowl XXIX between San Diego and San Francisco.

Jerry's inspiring, humorous talk centers on teamwork and communication, handling the unexpected, the importance of maintaining order amid chaos and how to make split-second decisions under pressure.
