Johnny is a U.S. Olympian in the sport of bobsled and competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. He has traveled the world with Team USA competing in Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Switzerland. Competing, living, and interacting within different cultures around the world has given Johnny a unique perspective and ability to connect with today’s diverse workforce.

Johnny declared for the NFL Draft in 2007 and was ranked in Top 10 at the wide receiver position in career receptions, career yards and career touchdowns at the collegiate level. 35 wide receivers went on to be selected in the 2007 NFL Draft and he was not one of them. Shortly after the draft concluded, Johnny signed his first free-agent contract with the Buffalo Bills. He signed his second free-agent contract in 2008 with the Green Bay Packers. After bouncing around the NFL for two years, Johnny went on to play in the Canadian Football League (CFL) in 2009 as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Johnny’s team played the Montreal Alouettes in the 97th Grey Cup and lost 28-27 on a 33-yard field goal as time ran out.

The fun fact is Johnny is the third person ever (2014) to have played in the NFL and to have competed in the Winter Olympics. The first two people to do it were Herschel Walker (1992) and Jeremy Bloom (2002, 2006).

Each year our 500+ membership gears up for the year with a banquet including dinner, business awards, entertainment, scholarship recognitions and a motivational keynote speech for the event finale. Johnny was absolutely fabulous and exceeded our expectations! The crowd was engaged during the entire message as Johnny genuinely delivered with passion and high energy! The JQ team was personable and easy to collaborate with during the planning of our event's logistics. The event audience included industries from staffing levels of 1 to 1,500 employees, and all guests were beyond impressed as Johnny was able to relate to everyone in the room. He was intentional with his time spent kindly autographing his book for attendees at the conclusion of our program.

In search of a unique keynote presentation for our company's national leadership meeting, our planning committee identified Johnny Quinn as a speaker who would deliver his message in a dynamic and memorable way. From the moment Johnny took the stage, it was clear to all that whatever expectations we had were about to be dramatically exceeded! Johnny weaves multiple life lessons into a compelling personal narrative. Laced with both dramatic examples and humor, he created an experience that all attendees agreed was the highlight of our three-day program.

Regardless of your industry or subject matter, it is clear Johnny is able to tailor his presentation to meet your needs. His customized message was truly beneficial to our meeting objectives and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

Johnny Quinn presented to our AT&T Diversity Group “Professionals 50 Forward” and only one word can describe his presentation. Amazing! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we had to pivot from an in-person event to a virtual format and he handled it seamlessly. Prior to the presentation we had several working sessions with Johnny to run through any potential technology issues with the on-line format. He was flexible, professional, open to new ideas and tailored his presentation to our needs. In this time of uncertainty, all of our 163 attendees really appreciated his message of “Strengthening Your Mindset” and the way Johnny overcame obstacles on his personal journey. I highly recommend Johnny Quinn as a Keynote Speaker and Motivator, ready to speak to your group today.
