JOE KLIMCHAK
IN-GAME HOST, PITTSBURGH PIRATES
Let's talk about
CONNECTION.
I help unlock people's natural ability to
powerfully persuade, move and inspire others.
“Joe’s presentation was truly inspiring! His message about the importance of making a connection can be applied to all aspects of your life . . . friends, family and business! After he spoke my question to him was “Can we hear that again?” . . . because yes, it was that good!”
Denise Etter
Communications Manager
I believe public speaking is the great separator. You can spend years accumulating knowledge, building skills and raising your talent level but all of that takes you only so far if you can't communicate it.
I help people become more impactful, engaging and persuasive communicators in work and life by sharing hard lessons learned in my 30-year journey as a public speaker.
“The inspiring and high-impact message that Joe presented at my team meeting helped me achieve my key objectives of keeping the meeting fresh and fun, while also driving important learning and advancing our communications skills. My team found his personal story fascinating and left with critical insights on how they can be better speakers.” -Steve DeCaspers, Vice President, Marketing at Brightspeed
“Joe was a meaningful contributor to our two-day business meeting. His kickoff presentation set the right mood for the entire group as we launched the next phase of our journey. The participants were more confident, open-minded, and willing to dig deeper into new ideas and possibilities to see where they might lead. This was especially helpful as we set new goals and initiatives individually and for the firm.” -Brian Gongaware, Directory of Advisory Services, McKinley Carter Wealth Services
“Joe's presentation was an inspiration to our team. You won't find his message in a business school lecture, and the way he articulated it was impactful." -Steve Dean, President, DAI Management Consultants

ABOUT JOE
Joe Klimchak has been studying the art of public speaking for more than 30 years. Fascinated by television broadcasters at a young age, Joe's dream was to become either a Major League Baseball stadium announcer or a game show host. Both dreams came true in 2005 when he was named the Pittsburgh Pirates' In-Game Host, and over the past 20 seasons, he's had the chance to welcome more than 30 million baseball fans to PNC Park.
Joe's also been chosen to emcee many high-profile events such as MLB's Little League Classic, Arnold Palmer's 80th Birthday celebration at PNC Park, Downtown Pittsburgh's Light Up Night, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's Annual Gala, the Chuck Tanner Awards Banquet, Clint Hurdle's Hot Stove Dinner and the historic "Boxing on the Bridge" event between the USA and Cuba.
Joe's television credits include hosting commercials for America's fastest-growing home remodeling company, West Shore Home, and hosting a weekly business segment on Pittsburgh's NBC affiliate, WPXI-TV.
Today, Joe especially enjoys sharing compelling personal stories to help people at all public speaking levels best connect with their audiences.
