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.
But Gammon isn't just a game changer on the field. After navigating his own journey with childhood trauma, thoughts of suicide and the loss of a close friend to suicide, Gammon knows that therapy and mental health support can be a game changer. And he now works to help veterans and first responders work through their own trauma through his involvement with the local nonprofit War Horses for Veterans.
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.
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.
