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 more than a decade, and has been featured on the "Steve Harvey Show," "Good Morning America," BuzzFeed, Fox News, CBS News and ABC News among others.

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 the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) with his successful rehabilitation, which instilled a “can-do” attitude, positive outlook, and passion for helping his fellow wounded warriors. 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.

In 2014, Nevins discovered the life-changing power of yoga and meditation, 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 began teaching yoga in 2015 and is now a Tier 3 Certified Baptiste Yoga Influencer. Nevins incorporates the notion of “yoga for everybody” 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 deployed servicemembers in the Middle East as well as 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 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 and Stadium of Fire at BYU Stadium 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 the Wounded Warrior Project and Warrior Spirit Retreat, a non-profit that he founded that empowers warriors to greater possibilities by providing them with new tools for healing from the invisible wounds of war. The holistic retreats offer a curriculum centered on yoga, mindfulness, and meditation and are free of charge to veterans.

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.
