Dan Quayle

Few public figures have faced scrutiny as intense as America’s 44th vice president. From his emergence on the national stage through years of high-profile controversy, Dan Quayle remained steadfast in his convictions, earning respect even from longtime critics. His resilience, integrity and good humor helped define a political career forged in the roughest terrain of modern American politics.

Quayle is the author of three books: “Standing Firm” (1994), “The American Family: Discovering the Values That Make Us Strong” (1996), and “Worth Fighting For” (1999). “Standing Firm” reflects the personal philosophy of a leader who endured sustained political attack yet emerged unbroken and deeply committed to his country. Audiences nationwide continue to seek his perspective on public life and leadership.

A formidable come-from-behind politician, Quayle defeated a 16-year incumbent congressman at age 29 and an 18-year incumbent senator at age 33. As vice president, he served as a close confidant to President George H.W. Bush during periods of war and peace and was an early advocate for government reform and congressional term limits. He also helped bring the issue of family values to the center of national debate in the early 1990s.

Following public service, Quayle entered the private sector and joined Cerberus Capital Management in 1999, where he serves as chairman of global investments. A seasoned author and communicator, he continues to engage audiences with insights shaped at the highest levels of American politics and business.
