We are so excited to announce our keynote speaker for NAPEC 54, Tyler Merren!

Tyler is a 5 time Paralympic athlete and 2 time medalist with the USA Team, Motivational Speaker, Personal Trainer, and owner of ReVision Training LLC. Born in Michigan with an eye condition known as Retinitis Pigmentosa, Merren despite his visual challenges grew up with a love for sports and activities, which transferred into his Baccalaureate in Exercise Science and career as a Personal Trainer and Elite Athlete. His wife Leanne, who is also blind, and he, have four children and currently live in Michigan where Tyler is working for the Department of Education, running his business, developing the ReVision Fitness audio fitness program, and homeschooling his children. His presentation, “Seeing The Champion Within,” is a journey through his story and the lessons learned along the way, and presents the 5 steps to drawing out the greatest potential in each of us, no matter the challenge.
