Speaking

"I was fortunate to take a recent multi-day seminar taught by Marque. The attendees were at various levels of experience, from complete novice to experts. Marque's ability to engage, explain, and educate all levels of experience was exceptional. Breaking down the complex science into simple practical applications that everyone enjoyed and understood. Like a chef breaking down each step of a recipe, Marque shares not just the 'how', but the more important 'why'. He is full of fantastic stories that come from his adventurous life. Stories that relate to everyone and find their way into sharing his unique view and understanding of art, life, science, adventure, and living a fulfilling creative life. Marque is a fantastic teacher, mentor, and supporter of those looking to breakthrough the inner barriers that thwart us all in our endeavors. He has lived a life of overcoming personal, external, and professional obstacles and breaking through the fear, doubt, and naysayers to become one of the most respected people in his field. Marque Ohmes comes from a rare and unique place that allows his voice and perspective to cut through the negativity, and his knowledge and wisdom give encouragement that installs in others the understanding that nothing is truly out of reach if you take the time to rig it correctly."

"Through decades of working in this industry, I find Marque's communication skills can breakdown complex situations into manageable, streamlined, understandable segments. He is also very cognizant of environmental situations and is adaptable in his communication style. I feel like I am constantly learning from him in every encounter."

"Marque is exceptionally well versed in his field. He always spoke clear and concisely with a passion that was contagious. With the help of diagrams, PowerPoints, hands on equipment, live demonstrations, and time for practical application, I learned so much in my time with him. He always gave great examples of multiple situations and kept everything above board and regulations. Highly recommend!"

"Marque Ohmes and I have been colleagues for 20 years, and in that time I have found him to be among the most creative, reliable, and visionary people that I have met. Marque is not only an accomplished individual and a great team member but he is also a fantastic leader who is driven to accomplish any given task with efficiency and great care to the safety and wellbeing of all involved. He has often amazed me with both his attention to every small detail while keeping the big picture firmly in view. He has a way of communicating his thoughts and ideas directly and succinctly but in a way that brings the listener along with him rather than stranding them on the other side of the conversation. In short, I have found Marque to be an invaluable asset to any project and he has earned my complete trust and respect."

"Marque Ohmes has a remarkable ability to take complex, high-stakes concepts and make them genuinely accessible. With decades of experience on major productions like the Avengers films, Black Panther, and The Walking Dead, coordinating rigging and stunt sequences, he's mastered the art of translating technical expertise into lessons that truly resonate. He doesn't just explain the 'what'—he helps you understand the 'why,' whether he's breaking down rigging mechanics, safety protocols, or the mindset needed to perform under pressure. When Marque teaches, people walk away with real understanding, not just information."

"I've known Marque for many years, both professionally and as a dear friend! I truly know I wouldn't be as confident in my career today without his incredible guidance, encouragement, thoughtful teachings of important skills and the sharing of his immense knowledge every time we have the chance to work together or at one of his wonderful workshops! His supportive teaching style and motivational energy speaks to all levels of learning! Even with my severe dyslexia, I've been able to master many new skills through Marque's patient guidance over the years of working together and I'll always be grateful to him!"
