The charm and professionalism of Johnny Quinn didn’t end there, he stayed after the ceremony for several photo opportunities with our graduates. Several parents and grandparents of our graduates stopped me as I was leaving to tell me how much they enjoyed Johnny’s message and what a great speaker he was. The graduation committee has already asked if they could get Johnny back again next year!”

• “Johnny did a remarkable job presenting as a keynote speaker at our Biennial Conference. His message to our members was very inspiring, energizing and very well received by attendees of all ages (17 to 60+). He has a great way of sharing his story of overcoming challenges and chasing your dreams that relates well with his audience. He could very easily talk about the highlight of being an Olympic Athlete and deliver a quality product, but he digs so much deeper by sharing his setbacks and challenges that came before becoming one of the most widely recognized members of the Sochi Olympics. Johnny shares some great life lessons that helped shape his direction in life as he navigated his career that anyone who is still finishing their education or a young professional looking to make their path would benefit from. He is both engaging and entertaining. Johnny delivers a message that is going to relate to nearly any audience.”

  Mindy Briones, Cross Country & Track Coach, Independence High School

“Johnny was a very inspiring speaker to our Young Men’s Service League Carrollton Chapter. Every boy in the room could relate to his struggle for athletic success yet, rarely measuring up to his own expectations. This is the type of message that High School boy’s need to hear; that others have walked this path and met the challenges. His message of being available for the next opportunity was very powerful and left an encouraging impact on everyone.I would highly recommend Johnny Quinn.
