National Footprint

Alabama-Based. Nationally Touring.

Opelika is where Jody lives. It is not where he works. Corporate meetings, electric cooperative annual meetings, teacher in-service days, church banquets, association conventions, military balls and fundraising galas — in 45 states and for U.S. troops in 15 countries.

What This Means If You Are Booking From Out of State

Jody flies from Atlanta (ATL, about an hour and forty-five minutes from Opelika) or Columbus, Georgia (CSG, forty minutes). He books his own travel, arrives early, and has no production rider — a wireless microphone and a stage is the entire technical requirement. That keeps the total cost of bringing him in predictable no matter which state you are in, and it is why cooperatives and school districts a thousand miles from Alabama book him a second and third time.

If your date sits near another booking on the schedule, travel gets cheaper. Send the date and he will tell you.

Questions

Booking Jody From Anywhere

How many states has Jody Fuller spoken in?

45 states to date, with New York booked for October 2026 — that will make 46. Only North Dakota, Vermont, Rhode Island and Massachusetts are left.

Is Jody available outside Alabama?

Yes. Opelika, Alabama is his home base, not his service area. Jody books nationwide and travels to events in every region of the country, flying from Atlanta (ATL) or Columbus, Georgia (CSG).

Does booking a speaker from out of state cost more?

Travel is a line item, not a surprise. Jody flies commercial, books his own travel and does not require a production rider — a microphone and a stage are the requirement. Events within driving distance of Opelika across the Southeast keep travel costs lowest, and a date near an existing trip can lower them anywhere in the country. Send your date and he will quote the travel with the fee.

Which states does Jody work most often?

Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Illinois, Colorado and Arkansas see him most, largely through electric cooperatives, rural water associations, school districts, churches and state associations.

Has Jody performed outside the United States?

Yes. He has entertained U.S. troops in 15 countries with Armed Forces Entertainment and the USO, beginning with a stage in Samarra, Iraq on New Year's Eve 2003.
