Thinkers, tinkerers, inventors, problem solvers, backyard engineers, special effects wizards, pyromaniacs..and co-hosts of the hit series MythBusters on the Discovery Channel. Revered by educators for redefining the way science is taught in the classroom, Adam and Jamie have invigorated interest in the subject for every age group. They have proven that it’s cooler than ever to be a geek. Audiences are as enthusiastic about their live presentations as they are about their show. Corporations, educational organizations and non-profit groups all over the country have invited Adam and Jamie to keynote their events. Audiences have included MIT, IBM, HP, Lockheed, Symantec, RSA, the California Science Teachers Association, the Commonwealth Club, and many more. Expert communicators and storytellers, their topics are endless and there is much fun to share. From the unique way they think, to their unique experiences with the show and their varied histories, their interactive moderated Q&A sessions are insightful, entertaining and unforgettable. They encompass science and innovation, problem solving (both individually and as a team), collaboration and partnership, risk taking, planning and the importance of looking at things in new ways–lessons applicable to all types of businesses and organizations.

About Keynote Speaker Jamie Hyneman

Jamie Hyneman’s Accomplishment’s Include…

Best known as Host and Executive Producer of Discovery Channel’s long-running science and engineering series, MythBusters, Dr., Dr., Dr. (HC) Jamie Hyneman has an unusually diverse background, ranging from his education in Russian linguistics, to survival expert, to charter boat captain, diver, film effects specialist, engineer, and inventor.

After deciding to leave linguistics behind, Jamie started and ran a successful charter business in the Caribbean for a number of years. Eventually he sailed back up to the States and sought work in film effects. Over the course of thirty years, he’s had his hands in over 800 commercials and feature films, first as a technician, then as a manager, and finally as founder of M5 Industries in San Francisco.

MythBusters is one of Discovery’s longest running and most highly regarded series, having been produced for 14 years and created over 250 hours of programming. It has aired pretty much in every country in the world that has television and internet, and is known for its liberal use of high explosives and creative problem solving. It aired its final season earlier this year. It is credited with popularizing the sciences and engineering and inspiring at least two generations of young people to seek careers in related fields.

In the midst of producing and hosting MythBusters and other television projects, Jamie was also quietly doing work with the NRO, Homeland Security, the US Army, the Office of Naval Research, the Navy, and the Dept of Defense. He has received three honorary doctorates from three different countries, has authored several patents, and is a lifetime honorary member of the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators, as well as the National Science Teachers Association. He lectures regularly at universities both in the US and around the world on product design, rapid prototyping, and creative problem solving.
Jamie Hyneman is currently in charge of several research and development projects for both private and US military entities, primarily being conducted at his facility, M5 Industries Inc., in San Francisco, where MythBusters was produced.

Jamie lives with his family in the San Francisco Bay Area.
