Pen Guy Visits Mark West Elementary

Last Tuesday I gave a talk about the Mercedes Pens at Mark West Elementary School here in Santa Rosa California, for Earth Day. After the classroom visit the kids came out to see the car and ask more questions about it. I was only scheduled to visit one class but while I was there, word spread and I ended up showing the car to three more classes. That was a blast, and luckily the weather held out and did not rain during my visit.

The first grade teacher who invited me over, had this to say about it.

“Costas!!We loooooooooooved it!!  Your presentation was fantastic!  Nancy could not stop talking about how engaging, funny, and personable you are.  We can’t decide who liked the experience more – the kids or us!  Thanks so much for coming out and sharing your time, yourself, and your amazing project with us.  We all loved it!

I want you to come to my class EVERY year for Earth Day 🙂

You’re the best!! Thanks so much.”

Guest Speaker in Santa Rosa – The Pen Guy


If you are looking for a guest speaker and inspirational comedian for Santa Rosa and the rest of the Bay Area, then look no further. The Pen Guy and his Mercedes Pens Art Car is now available to appear at local schools, events, business meetings, benefit concerts, fundraisers, and any other type of gathering you can think of. I plan to be at Maker Fair in San Mateo, Art Car Fest in San Francisco, Berkeley and San Jose and also local events such as the Sebastopol Apple Blossom Festival, Harmony Festival and City Kids Festival in Santa Rosa. Its going to be an incredible year, lots of fun, many more pens to be glued on the car, and some taken off and given away as gifts. In doing all this I hope to inspire others to pursue and explore their gifts and talents in new and creative ways this year. The best part of being the “pen guy” is that it’s a lot of fun, it makes people laugh and it’s something people of all ages can enjoy and participate in.
