Dan Nevins Biography

Dan Nevins is a professional speaker who has been inspiring audiences around the world with his message of perseverance, resiliency and hope for nearly two decades, and has been featured on the Steve Harvey Show, Good Morning America, BuzzFeed, Fox News, CBS News and ABC News among other notable media outlets and podcasts.

A highly decorated soldier, Nevins was severely injured during combat in Iraq in 2004 after an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated beneath his vehicle. He lost both legs below the knee, and lives with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the emotional wounds of war.

Nevins credits Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) with his successful rehabilitation, which instilled a “can-do” attitude, positive outlook and passion for helping his fellow wounded warriors in him. He quickly became an advocate for the organization, inspiring both his peers and the public to create positive change for themselves and those around them, simply by sharing his powerful story. Nevins’ charismatic personality and relatable, lively approach resonated with audiences of all shapes and sizes, and he soon found himself sharing his story with hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

In 2008, Nevins received WWP’s highest honor, the George C. Lang Award for Courage, for his efforts on behalf of the organization. He went on to become the director of WWP’s Warriors Speak program, where he taught other wounded warriors and their caregivers how to share their stories with the public and serve as spokespeople for the organization, much like he had.

More recently, Nevins discovered the life- changing power of yoga, which has enabled him to heal from the invisible wounds of war in a way that nothing else could. He quickly realized that other wounded warriors could benefit from yoga in the same way and knew he had to become an instructor. Nevins became a Baptiste Yoga teacher in 2015, and is now a Tier 3 Certified Baptiste Yoga Influencer. Nevins incorporates the notion of “yoga for every-body” into his speeches and classes, encouraging people from all walks of life –and veterans in particular – to take up the practice.

Word of Nevins’ efforts spread quickly, and he has been invited to teach yoga throughout the world, from the White House in Washington, DC to the Africa Yoga Project in Nairobi, Kenya. Nowadays, when he’s not leading classes for hundreds of participants, Nevins can usually be found sharing his stories, passion for life, WWP, yoga and his fellow wounded warriors with the attendees of major events ranging from the Bank of America 500 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway to the Wisdom 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.

Nevins is continuously searching for new ways to help other veterans. He is passionate about his work with Wounded Warrior Project and continues working with and supporting veterans and their caregivers with yoga, mindfulness & mediation classes and retreats, completely free of charge.

Nevins is an incredible storyteller who integrates his own powerful and impactful story into a customized keynote or workshop that will inspire your organization with his message of perseverance, resiliency and hope. Now more than ever, Nevins’ message will leave you inspired and prepared to overcome life’s unique challenges.
