We are excited to announce John Kelly as our Featured Speaker at our 2024 Event which will take place at the Host Hotel (Hilton Knoxville Airport )Ball Room on Friday Night after Packet Pickup!
John Kelly grew up adventuring through the dense mountains and forests around my family’s rural home in Morgan County, TN, constantly trying to keep up with his older brother and cousins. That grew into a love of exploration and a drive to continually challenge myself with goals that push my boundaries and that have failure as a probable outcome (without that possibility a goal is just a task).
Scheduled To Be Announced Later!
