Don believes in the pursuit of your dream. He began to pursue his dream during
his service to his country. He was selected to become an instructor at the prestigious Air Force
Recruiting School where he was instrumental in creating many sales and public speaking courses. He
received numerous awards and decorations for his accomplishments as a Master Instructor, teaching a full
array of students from Non-Commissioned Officers to Generals. This background has enabled him to become
successful in the sales arena.
In 1984-85 as a Sales Manager he led his teams to new sales records including becoming #1 in the nation
for eighteen consecutive months. In 1995 he became partner and C.E.O. of a nutritional distribution
company and again in his winning tradition, that company also became #1 in the nation in sales. It was
these and other accomplishments that allow him to live his dream of a career in sales training and
public speaking.
Don continues to search for ways to enhance his speaking ability and to provide insightful as well as
creative formats for his presentations. In 1966, Don began working in the entertainment field. His
acting career has spanned over 25 years, doing commercials, industrial films, and several movies.
Another goal became a reality when he became a Stand-Up Comedian. Shortly thereafter he became a
headliner on the comedy circuit. In addition, Don hosted a call-in radio show entitled "Don Varneys
Positive World" and presently hosts "Billboards" on KSLR.
A life-long dream of playing professional football was fulfilled by playing Tight End for the USIFL

Coach for the San Antonio Thunder of the NAFL (Professional Minor League Football). The coaching staff
selected to the NAFL Coaching All-Star List 2001.
Don is well known in the San Antonio marketplace as a businessman with integrity and a "GET IT DONE"
attitude. During the past years he has given freely of his time by speaking to youth groups. He
believes that if they hear about solid life principles in a positive way they can begin to live them.
