Jeff Driskill has spent his life in the world of sports. He played football in high school, then at the NCAA Division I level. He played semi-pro (where he won a Super Bowl ring!) and went on to be a collegiate head coach... And then he went into sales. But here's the thing about this local resident who now coaches high school football players, sales professionals and business executives alike, it turns out being good at sales means you have to be a good coach, too.

It's a proven fact, when a Neil Diamond song starts playing everybody — and I mean everybody — sings along. The world's love affair with the music of the legendary singer has led to wild and crazy career for this resident of Lee's Summit. At an early age, Theron Denson was told his singing voice sounded a lot like Diamond, and for the past 22 years he's toured the country entertaining the masses with his tributes as The Black Neil Diamond. Theron dropped by the vault this week to talk about his show's origins, share some stories and preview Saturday's special performance at The Pink Elephant in downtown Lee's Summit.
