In addition to his work in elementary schools in North America, Jay has performed in over thirty-six countries around the world. Jay is writing, performing, and directing a children’s television program in Kenya called “Rainbow Surprise”, that is reaching over eighteen million people each week.

Jay has a passion for encouraging kids to make good choices that reflect positive character qualities. Every month, Jay performs in front of thousands of people. Jay says, " My goal is to connect with every student, teacher, and parent in my audience, and to leave them with the inspiring messages that make The Kid Culture Show so affective and exciting.”

Jay and his wife Debbie lived in Kenya for over eight years. They truly understand the culture of this African country called Kenya.
