Chris Cannon, Bestselling Author and Encouragement Coach for Youth Educators, dedicates his life to assuring the success of “AT RISK” Youth and those who serve them. His mission is transforming today’s youth into tomorrow’s leaders and he trains educators nationally on how to actually make this dream a reality!

He developed his key insight into the lives of young people from being on the frontlines and working with youth and education systems across the country. Referred to by audiences as an exceptional communicator, paralleled with a former career as a high school teacher and coach, he’s earned the reputation as one who knows first hand how to effectively reach today’s youth.

After struggling to overcome the appealing temptations of sex, drugs, and low-academic performance as a college football player, he discovered his passion and purpose for helping others overcome these same challenges. Shortly after graduating from Eastern Michigan University, he began sharing his personal journey of becoming a victim of your own choices, which is transforming lives as far reaching as the continent of Africa.
