Shawn Harper Speaker Biography


Shawn Harper is regarded as one of the top up-and-coming motivational/inspirational speakers in the country. A former college and seven-year professional football player, Shawn uses wit, humor, feats of strength, and his NFL experiences to draw and captivate his audience.

He then delivers an earth-shaking message of motivation, encouragement, and hope. A classic rags-to-riches story, Shawn was born and raised in an impoverished area of Columbus, Ohio. Faced with insurmountable odds such as four learning disabilities, poverty, speech challenges, and the lowest GPA in his senior class, Shawn rose from an average football player to graduating from college and winning several national achievement awards.

Shawn played seven years in the NFL, blocking for two Heisman trophy candidates and two all-pro running backs. Shawn is currently CEO of American Services and Protection in Columbus, Ohio. He is living proof that a setback is a setup for a comeback! Shawn Harper travels the country sharing the wisdom he has gained through the experiences in his life.

Whether it is a high school assembly, an annual conference, retreat, camp, or another event, Shawn mesmerizes his audiences as he unlocks the secrets of success and personal achievement. One of Shawn's life statements is You are not born winners or losers; you are born choosers.
