Keynote Speaker - Josh Sundquist

Josh Sundquist is a Paralympic ski racer and nationally known inspirational speaker. He has been featured on CNN and in USA TODAY and has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people across the country.

At age nine Josh Sundquist was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and given a fifty percent chance to live. He spent a year on chemotherapy treatments and his left leg was amputated. Doctors declared Josh cured of the disease at age thirteen and he took up ski racing three years later. He trained for the next six years and in 2006 he was named to the US Paralympic Ski Team for the 2006 Paralympics in Turino, Italy.

Josh began speaking to groups about his experiences at age ten. He has since shared his story as a keynote speaker at schools, Fortune 500 companies, and in Washington, DC at the White House. At eighteen, he was the second youngest person ever accepted as a Professional Member of the National Speakers Association.
