Meet our keynote speaker: Kendall Gammon
Kendall Gammon Biography
Kendall Gammon is a 15-year NFL veteran who played in Super Bowl XXX with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gammon then went on to play six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. And even now, he is still part of the team as the host of the Chiefs pregame show on 101 The Fox. Gammon racked up several accolades during his time on the field, including being the first pure long snapper to be selected for a Pro Bowl roster.
Beyond his ties to the Chiefs, community involvement is near and dear to his heart as he serves as the Chief Development Officer for War Horses for Veterans, a program that provides equine-assisted therapy for combat veterans transitioning back into civilian life.
A proud dad of two boys, Blaise (26) and Drake (23), Gammon is also the author of books about emotional communication, helping others navigate their feelings with openness and honesty.
Gammon played football for two years at Pittsburg State University, where he graduated with a degree in Physical Education. He now serves as the Special Assistant to the President at Pittsburg State, continuing his dedication to education and leadership.
A passionate advocate for mental health, Gammon’s own journey through childhood trauma, his experience with suicide, and the loss of a close friend to suicide has shown him that therapy can be a true game changer. By sharing his experiences, he hopes to inspire others to make their own game-changing decisions by seeking support and prioritizing their mental well-being.
