Shaun White Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Shaun White is a dual-sport professional athlete who maintains some of the highest accolades within snowboarding and skateboarding. Off the board, Shaun has also achieved major accomplishments in the business world through clothing lines, signature products, music festivals, and brand partnerships.

Shaun White is a two-time legendary athlete in snowboarding and skateboarding. He was born with a congenital heart disorder, which brought him two surgeries before his first birthday. Born with a stacked deck of adversity early in life, Shaun's determination drove him forward. By the time he was six years old, he was already on his snowboard, and it wasn't long until major sponsors were on his radar. At 13, he was already a professional snowboarder. Three years later, at 17, he was already a pro skateboarder who got signed by Tony Hawk.It would be at the Winter Olympics where White shined, with his impressive string of victories allowing him to garner three gold medals throughout his career—each four years apart (2006, 2010, 2018). He cinched the record for the highest score ever in the halfpipe and took the most gold medals in X Games history, with 15 golds, a total of 23. For his dramatic victories and innovative tricks, he became a household name that inspired athletes everywhere.Off the snow and board, Shaun has succeeded in business by developing clothing lines with Target and Macy's, along with partnerships with Burton Snowboards, Oakley, and Red Bull. But more than being an athlete and a businessman, he is a philanthropist. He supports many charitable organizations, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and the Boys and Girls Club. With his service-oriented approach, as well as his moving personal story of great adversity leading to triumph, Shaun's influence has crossed the field of sport to exist as a rare and significant cultural phenomenon. He is a two-time cover of Rolling Stone and a 10-time ESPY Award winner. His story of life, from a boy with a heart defect to a world-renowned athlete with his successful business, proves just one thing: it is the story of his indomitable spirit, resourcefulness, and insatiable aspiration for excellence.
