After graduating from the University of Texas, El Paso, Jon played 14 years in the NFL. He played 2 years for the Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans. He then played 12 years for the 2018 Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles, where he was twice recognized as a Pro Bowler and earned a Super Bowl Ring

During his 14 years in the NFL, and since the age of 12, Jon was also honing his skills as a world-class magician.

He officially unveiled his talent and passion on Season 11 of America’s Got Talent and as a result he became a regular on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and many others.

Jon’s book, LIFE IS MAGIC, is being made in to a movie by acclaimed producer, Mike Tollin, with the script written by an Academy Award nominated screen writer.

Reinvention is at the core of Apolo Anton Ohno. He acquired and honed this skill over a decade of Olympic speed skating competition, during which he became the most decorated US Winter Olympian of all time. Apolo continually adapts that performance mindset to support ongoing personal and professional growth. He has drawn on this acumen to become a global cross- industry entrepreneur, a successful sports broadcaster and television personality, a New York Times best- selling author, and a lifelong scholar inside and outside the university setting. Apolo harnesses these experiences to educate and inspire organizations on how to foster a sustained leadership mindset needed to overcome current business challenges.

Apolo Anton Ohno claimed his first major speed skating title at the US Championships at the age of 14—after just six months of training. Over the next decade and a half, he went from kid prodigy to the most decorated US Winter Olympian in history — a title he still holds — earning eight Olympic medals in short- track speed skating across the 2002, 2006, and 2010 Winter Games.

Following the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, Apolo took his understanding of sport psychology and his personal experience with success and setbacks to develop a resilient and mission-driven approach to life. He wrote a book on this subject, Zero Regrets, which was released in 2011 and went on to become a New York Times best-seller.
