The 2008 SBF Keynote Speaker is Jeff Foxworthy! This Georgia native remains true to his southern roots.
Jeff Foxworthy, a Georgia native, is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee and best selling author of eleven books. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s.
Foxworthy stars in and executive produces the television series, Blue Collar TV, which he created for the WB network. Jeff also has an HBO special and two Showtime specials to his credit. With critical acclaim and rave reviews from the first special, Jeff landed his second Showtime special, which earned a Cable ACE Award nomination. Jeff has also been bestowed with a People’s Choice Award as “Favorite Male Newcomer” for The Jeff Foxworthy Show. He also won TNN’s “Comedian of the Year” three years in a row. Currently, Jeff has a line of greeting cards and specialty products through American Greetings that are available at all Wal-Mart stores.
This Georgia native remains true to his southern roots and resides with his wife and two daughters in Atlanta.
This dynamic event was established in 2003 with sponsorship from Atlanta Business Bank and Moore & Cubbedge, LLP. It was formerly hosted at the Vinings Club. Now located at the Cobb Galleria, Leeman Bennett hosts this large event, which provides over 1,000 small business owners the opportunity to meet and network with other others in the metro area. Economic speakers provide valuable information for all attendees.
Past Keynote Speakers include Georgia natives Phil Niekro, Mick Luckhurst, and Herschel Walker.
