What We Do

Gregg Burmeister is a writer/director/producer with 40 years of experience in the video industry. As a result of a horrific crash that occurred near Campbellsport, Wisconsin, Gregg was moved to do something about it so he created Speak Up to Slow Down. It is an on-line program designed to conveniently initiate family conversation about accountability and responsibility as a driver, but just as important, to understand the possible consequences if you fail to ‘Speak Up’ as a passenger when you do not feel safe.

In Gregg’s own family his cousin, sister-in-law, a neighbor, family friends and a boy he coached in youth sports were all involved in car crashes. Four of them lost their lives at the crash sites including the boy he coached in a high speed fiery crash. These were all teenagers with bright futures ahead of them so a common theme is that nothing good happens when speed suddenly encounters the unexpected because SPEED KILLS!
