Our Team
Together our team manages not only Johnnie's speaking business but also Alternatives in Motion and Cedar Tree Publishing. We all work very closely together and rely on our individual strengths and weaknesses to keep us moving forward. From left to right in the photo below:

George Ranville:
George's previous marketing experience for an international business, coupled with his leadership skills from his Navy Officer days (Lieutenant Commander) make him ideal to tout the banners for both Tap Shoe Productions and Alternatives in Motion.George serves as the general manager of Tap Shoe Productions and provides the structure for our staff. George and his wife Gail enjoy living with their cats while their two children are away at college.

Liz Spieker:
Liz is the program coordinator for Alternatives in Motion. She is the one who is the primary contact with recipients, and she coordinates the inventory of wheelchairs that belong to Alternatives in Motion. She's pretty much the glue that holds together all the filing, bookkeeping and data entry/retrieval that keeps things running smoothly. Liz and her husband, Steve, along with their four children live in Grand Rapids. In a word, she's awesome!

Matt Chapman:
Matt earned a B.S. degree in advertising and public relations from Grand Valley State University in 2005. While in college Matt received the Thomas M. Seykora Award for Outstanding Contribution (2005) conferred by GVSU. During his senior year, Matt served as a public relations intern with Alternatives in Motion, and is currently helping to coordinate marketing and special events for Alternatives in Motion and Tap Shoe Productions.

Johnnie Tuitel:
Johnnie is the founder of Alternatives in Motion, Co-author of The Gun Lake Adventure Series, and is known as "America's Pioneer Handicapitalist" When he is not on the road sharing his messages with businessmen, school children, and college students, Johnnie can be found listening to loud music and spending time with his family. Johnnie and his wife Deb have three boys and live in East Grand Rapids, MI.
