Travis Mills Biography

Travis Mills is one of only five quadruple amputees from the war in Iraq/Afghanistan, and he is one very funny, very memorable speaker. He is an otherwise ordinary man from middle America, with an extraordinary commitment to serve others. His service began with three tours of combat duty and continues today, as the President of The Travis Mills Foundation, which has raised over $50M helping thousands of other wounded vets and their families. Since losing his arms and legs, he has founded and operates six different businesses including a restaurant, marina, brewery, lodge and apparel brand. He is a New York Times bestselling author of two books, and is the feature of two critically acclaimed documentaries. Men’s Health Magazine named him their “Strongest Man of the Past 35 Years.” Mills is most certainly a leader in the humanitarian, military and disability communities.

Mills’ keynote, Never Give Up / Never Quit, is both full of jokes and emotionally powerful as he shares his remarkable story. Driven by both the desire to be the father his infant daughter almost lost, and a passion to continue to serve others no matter what, he shares themes of letting go of the past, adapting to change, perspective, culture, attitude and gratitude. It’s an astonishing story of one man rising up from an extraordinary challenge, told with humor, humility and heart.

  • Never Give Up, Never Quit!

    Be prepared to laugh, cry, laugh some more, and stand up and cheer while listening to Travis Mills share his astonishing story of survival and unending service to his country and his fellow man. One of only five quadruple amputees from the war in Iraq/Afghanistan, Travis is the NY Times Best-Selling Author of ‘Tough As They Come’ and one of the most critically acclaimed inspirational speakers in the world. A master of the one-liner, Travis’ infectious humor turns his remarkable story of resilience and overcoming adversity into the highlight of any meeting, conference or convention. As the founders of The Travis Mills Foundation, Travis and his wife Kelsey continue to serve hundreds of other injured service men and woman, and their families, each year.

    “That bomb took my arms and it took my legs, I can’t change that. But it was up to me to decide if it would also take my spirit. It was up to me to decide to get back up, to never quit…and that is what I choose to do, every day.” – Travis Mills
