“I spent most of my professional life fighting against drug abuse and those who profit from it. As the lead prosecutor for the federal Organized Crime/Drug Enforcement Task Force, I was an eyewitness to some of the darkest aspects of humanity – criminal organizations that traffic in human misery through the sale of heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and other harmful drugs. Through interviews of thousands of drug users, I know that boredom is often cited as an excuse for early experimentation with drugs or other destructive behavior. In my view, the cure for boredom is to tap into the sense of wonder we all experienced as little children. In the end, this is infinitely more satisfying than anything the drug culture can offer.”
Through real life experiences and award-winning photography, Monte’s presentations will provide a vivid contrast between the dark world of addiction and a life filled with a sense of wonder and awe for the world around us. His services include keynote addresses, corporate and law enforcement training, drug prevention programs, and nature photography workshops.
