Casey Kammel
Keynote Speaker · Long Beach, CA

Failure is not an option.

In 1994 I broke my neck in a swimming pool in Hawaii. I was 22. The doctors said the probability of walking again was slim. Twenty years later I raced the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona. This is the talk your team needs to hear.
