About the Speaker
Born and raised in an Australian coastal town, Ryan Campbell discovered his passion at a very young age -- flight. Aviation would be the dominant fixture in his life, providing some amazing but also traumatic, life-altering experiences. Ryan went on to achieve his first prominent goal in life as he flew an airplane solo for the first time on his 15th birthday. Ryan then made international headlines as he was the first teenager to fly solo around the world, including a feature story on 60 Minutes, countless television appearances, radio, and print interviews. Ryan’s life blossomed as he was named one of Australia’s 50 Great Explorers, the 2013 Australian Geographic Young Adventurer of the Year, and finalist for Young Australian of the Year.
However, in an instant Ryan’s life changed following a very seriously plane crash in 2015. He survived against all odds and was admitted to a spinal rehabilitation ward as a complete paraplegic with no movement from his waist down. With a further five breaks in his back and broken bones ranging from his face to his feet, Ryan needed to tap into everything he learned during his global expedition and more. He proved his mental fortitude by making history as a record-breaking pilot but demonstrated his mastery by learning to walk again and fighting his way back into the sky.
