Travis is one of only five quadruple amputees from the war in Iraq/Afghanistan, and he is one very funny, very memorable speaker. He is a NY Times Best-Selling Author, is the feature of a Netflix movie, has a growing collection of businesses,  and has a thriving foundation that is helping many other wounded vets and their families.   He is most certainly a leader in both the military and disability communities.

To give you a feel for his most popular keynote, he leads off with some rapid-fire jokes, and often times this catches the audience a little off-guard.  It’s as if they quickly realize, “Oh, this isn’t going to be a sob-story or another boring keynote, this guy is funny!” and they really start to sit up and lean in to what he is saying.  This is Travis’ style.  He pulls people in with humor, then begins to share his incredible story of perseverance.  For the most part, the humor keeps up, and the whole presentation is a really good time, but he is a pro, and there are a couple of times where he changes tempo a bit for some really dramatic, pretty unforgettable impact.  He is so adept with his prosthetics that it’s almost easy to forget this guy doesn’t have arms or legs, but then at different points in the presentation you’re reminded of what he has been through, and risen from.  Because of Travis’ unique situation, he is hard to forget.

Travis Mills’ signature keynote speech inspires audiences worldwide to “Never give up. Never quit” - no matter what. Life if full of hidden bombs, and no one knows that better than Travis. Despite the devastating nature of his personal journey, his larger-than-life personality, sense of humor and incredible spirit engages audiences from the moment he takes the stage. On April 10, 2012, United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne was critically injured on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan by an IED (improvised explosive device) while on patrol, losing portions of both legs and both arms. He is one of only five servicemen from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ever to survive quadruple amputee injuries. Thanks to his amazing strength, courage, an incredible will to live, the heroic actions of the men in his unit, the prayers of thousands, and all the healthcare providers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Mills has learned to thrive…and he has inspired millions while doing so. ...less
