About the speaker

Jeff Koterba’s world is filled with decibels. From a deafening crack of thunder when he was hit by lightning, to an earthshaking rumble as the space shuttle carried his drawings into orbit. He’s a guitarist with an amplifier sometimes set to eleven, and a political cartoonist who, each day, has to cut through the noise with pen and ink.
And yet? It’s the quiet that inspires Jeff.
Come find out how acts of silence can overcome some of our loudest creative challenges.
