Our Presenters

With over 40 years of business experience in the trenches, Donald brings a large repository of knowledge that he has tapped as a successful strategist and consultant. 

Alongside building successful companies, he has an equally successful music career – having a conservatory degree in piano performance. He is owner, partner and founding member of a number of enterprises – including a music-based business, Exceptional Choral Events, that he runs with his wife of 14  years, Stephanie Charbonneau. 

Most notably, in 2008, Donald was selected to be on the elite team of Chet Holmes International and stayed with Chet as he forged a business relationship with Tony Robbins to create the successful Business Mastery Seminar model and Business Breakthroughs International. Those connections and relationships also lead Donald to work alongside master business minds – Jay Abraham, Scott Hallman, Eben Pagan and many others. 

For the past 6 years, Donald has been on the team of Go Meta Media, an Eben Pagan company – serving thousands of entrepreneurs in the digital information and coaching industries.  

Donald is also a Chief Business Strategist at Client Elevator and The Virtual Profit Plan group - a team of online business experts that helps companies develop traction with their online presence (VirtualProfitPlan.com). 

A father of 6, Donald lives in the Seattle, Washington area and enjoys spending time kayaking on the many inland waterways and walking the many forested trails.
