Doc Hendley Biography
In 2003 Doc Hendley dreamed up the concept of Wine To Water while bartending and playing music in nightclubs around Raleigh, North Carolina. In January of 2004 he held his first fundraiser and by August was living in Darfur, Sudan installing water systems for victims of the government-supported genocide.
When Hendley returned home in 2005, the haunting memories of what he had seen in Darfur drove him to continue growing the organization he had started only two years earlier. And in 2007, after working two jobs and volunteering his time for over three years, Wine To Water became an official 501 (c)(3) and Hendley's dream finally became a reality.
Hendley's work aims to help the 1.1 billion people worldwide who lack access to clean water, a figure estimated by the World Health Organization. Nearly two-thirds of that group lives in Asia. In sub-Saharan Africa, 42 percent of the population lives without yard taps, household connections or other improvements to sanitize water. Unclean water is the number one killer of children in the world. Water borne illnesses kill far more children than HIV/AIDS and Malaria combined. Every 15 seconds a child dies from unclean water.
Hendley was named one of the Top 10 CNN Heroes for 2009 (chosen by a panel of judges including Gen. Colin Powell, Whoopi Goldberg, Ted Turner and Sir Elton John). He is the author of "Wine to Water: A Bartender's Quest to Bring Clean Water to the World."
He lives in Boone, North Carolina with his wife, Amber, and two sons, Justice and Beattie. Balancing family life and the demands of building Wine To Water, Doc Hendley continues to travel to underdeveloped, war-ridden nations, working in the field to bring clean water to those in need.

"We had a great day with Doc. From my perspective, it could not have gone better. Our folks loved him."
See Agency - Jan 05 2012 -
Doc connected with the audience like no other. His stories of the past, present, and future were a Grand Slam. My kids love him so much, and he motivated them so much to make a difference, on their own, they collected and donated enough money to buy five wells, walking around the lobby of the hotel, proving anyone, anywhere can make a difference. Now that is the power of the spoken word, that ignites action, and Doc was a master at sharing his stories, words we all understand. Thank you Doc, for the difference you make. -Manny Diotte

I would like to add something to my previous review. I booked Doc, Christine Cashen, Laura Caldwell, and the Corps Group all from www.seeagency.com for ONE EVENT. See Agency was like a one-stop shop for my speaker needs. I collaborated with See Agency to create a themed event where each speaker emphasized a different facet of leadership for our school administrators. This brought added value for our participants. Working with See Agency's speakers (and leadership team) saved me time and energy when creating a powerful, meaningful conference.

Doc is a wonderful, sincere, person who has made a tremendous difference in the world. He sees himself as average, yet he has saved thousands of lives by raising awareness of the world's plight of lack of clean drinking water. His powerful, moving story about how each of us has the power to make a difference in the world is one that will shake you to your foundation. Our audience of 300 school administrators was touched and inspired by this remarkable man. We were truly in the presence of greatness, wrapped in humilty and compassion. Thank you, Doc.
Orange County Public Schools - Jun 25 2011 -
Doc Hendley is an incredibly passionate speaker. He spoke to at Watauga High School in Boone, North Carolina on April 20th about his story and his organization, Wine to Water. Doc reached each person on a personal level with his shocking statistics about the water crisis coupled with his very real photos. This is something that most people know little about, but he did a great job of demonstrating its devastating effects on over 1 billion people worldwide. He was very relatable and down-to-earth, an average guy encouraging the youth to pursue their dreams. Doc, as always, was adamant that the youth should feel empowered and capable of doing anythingsomething that he didnt always feel in school. He was very encouraging to the students, urging them to take action and fight against the water crisis alongside him. Ive heard Doc speak a few times before, but never had I seen him so confident, excited, and ready to inspire so many students. He kept the attention of each and every student throughout his entire speech, answered a lot of questions about himself and Wine to Water, and, in the end, received a standing ovation from the audience. Doc has an amazing story and Wine to Water is a great organization thats helping save lives. He was successful in spreading awareness about the water crisis to the youth in our area and helping them to realize that they can make a difference. Doc is compassionate, dedicated, humble, and inspirationalI wholeheartedly recommend him as a speaker.
