Turpin Communication instructors are dedicated to providing the best
presentation and facilitation skills training available. As you can see in
these short biographies, our skills as trainers, coaches and workshop
designers are enriched by our diverse backgrounds.
Dale
Ludwig (Trainer/President) founded Turpin Communication in 1992. He has
a Ph.D. in speech communication and, prior to Turpin, taught at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Turpin name is a reference
to a fictional character in one of Dale’s favorite short stories. It was
chosen because it sounds nice next to “Communication” and isn’t too hard to
spell. Dale founded
Turpin Communication in 1992. Since then he has worked to
keep the company focused on what it does best: providing presentation and
facilitation skills training in small, interactive workshops.

| ... (you are) very good at
providing constructive feedback without making one feel insecure
about it." |

Greg
Owen-Boger (Trainer/Vice President) has been with Turpin Communication
since 1995 as a camera man, trainer, project manager and now as an account
manager. Trained in management and the performing arts he brings a diverse
set of skills and experience to the organization. During the lean acting
years he started OwenProCo Small Business Web Services, which is still in
business today and comes in handy when Turpin’s website needs an update.
Greg also manages the technology behind our eLearning courses. About that
hyphen in his last name, it goes back to the lean acting years when he was
ill-advised to lose his last name and go by his middle name. In an even more
ill-advised move, he inserted a hyphen when he left the industry.
