Topher Morrison
Topher Morrison the author of 4 best-selling books and has been a resident of Tampa for 19 years.
He volunteers his time to mentor students at the University of Tampa’s entrepreneurship center and is a member of UT’s Board of Fellows.
As a founding member of the Center Circle at the Center for Women, Topher has a track record advocating for equal rights of women in the workplace.
He is a member and serves on the development committee for Feeding Tampa Bay.
Most recently, he was a Mayoral candidate for the City of Tampa. While unsuccessful in winning the election, he succeed in raising critical issues for the city which otherwise would have gone unnoticed, like minority owned businesses receiving government contracts, our need to become a 100% Green Renewable Energy City, and implementing innovative transit solutions instead of widening our freeways.
His extensive speaking career, spanning over the past 30 years, has earned him a global reputation as an expert in mass-communication and influence. He has spoken for top execs with American Express, Microsoft and Google, just to name a few.
Topher is shockingly honest, sometimes irreverent, and always down-to-earth. He is not afraid to tell it like it is and speaks to the person who couldn’t care less about party affiliation and is more focused on making sure Tampa is the ultimate city to live work and play.
Most importantly (if you ask Topher) he's obsessed with his dog Macie. The two of them can be seen all over Tampa with Topher riding his OneWheel and Macie riding along in her K9 Backpack. As one City Councilman put it, "Topher is Tampa's most famous pedestrian."
