Whistling for the President | Chris Ullman | TEDxMidAtlantic

Chris Ullman is the four-time national and international whistling champion. From the steps of the U.S. Capitol, where he performed with the National Symphony Orchestra, to an Oval Office serenade of President George W. Bush, as well as 350 personalized Happy Birthday whistles a year, Chris rejoices in sharing his art with people around the world. By day, Chris is a Managing Director at The Carlyle Group, a global alternative asset manager.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Thank you, Mr. Ullman! You whistled to me today and it really made my day!!!

[@Sincerely0506]

That was SO enjoyable in both the whistling and the presentation. Thank you for making me smile.

[@TheFUNkid108]

maybe one day I'll become the next Chris Ullman, and motivate people by showing them you just have to be yourself and do what you love no matter what anyone says, even the little things are big. Never give up

[@jounnerstall6209]

Fantastic and uplifting! THANKS SO MUCH!

[@bobullman2887]

[@kishorkumarkhadka5877]

I love whistling and I aspire to do something big with it. Seeing people such as him in TEDx Talks inspires me even more. One day I hope to achieve it and comment back here again. :)

How’s it going

[@terrancekayton007]

He’s got 100,000,000 more Happy Birthday whistling gigs now for the rest of his life.

[@terrancekayton007]

It’s hard for me to whistle Happy Birthday because it’s hard not to smile for the birthday person and all the joy around for them.

[@dms2861]
