Nick Tokman, also known as “Sunshine” on the Discovery show “Deadliest Catch,” visited eighth graders at R.C. Murphy Junior High School for an inspirational and empowering presentation.

Tokman walked students through his journey of traveling to Alaska and ultimately becoming a cast member of the Emmy-winning show. He outlined all the “coincidences” that led him to appearing on “Deadliest Catch,” and while many of them appeared to be negative at the time, he shared how each circumstance led him to his dream.

Students were empowered to take control of their lives, or become their own “captains,” and overcome obstacles to achieve their own definition of success. Tokman encouraged students to surround themselves with people who support them, never give up and to be themselves. The eighth graders left the auditorium feeling hopeful, inspired and better prepared for their futures.
