Ohioana Citation for Music: 2006

Eric Gnezda, Worthington OH

Eric Gnezda is a motivational speaker and performer who has written music for many causes. His “Blossoms of Hope” has become a triumphant anthem for individuals battling cancer, and another composition, “Everyone Wins,” is used nationally to promote the Special Olympics.

On a more local level, he was invited by Governor Bob Taft to perform his original composition, “True Heroes,” at the State of Ohio’s September 11 remembrance and recognition celebration. He has appeared on NPR, ESPN, and Nickelodeon, and his humorous presentations have inspired employees at Limited Brands, IBM, and many other national and international corporations.
