Keynote Presenter Information:
David Eves Motivational Speaker
At the young age of 16, David Eves’ world was changed in a matter of seconds. He was left a paraplegic from a tragic ATV accident. His accident was truly life changing in every way. He soon learned that his life’s greatest challenge would become his greatest teacher. Since that time David has used the principles he learned and applied them to help him excel in every aspect of his life. He graduated at the top of his class from Dixie State College and Southern Utah University where he received his MBA. David’s love for life has continued and he hasn’t let anything stand in his way in achieving his dreams.
David is married to his best friend Shannon and they are the proud parents of their little boy Lincoln. They currently live in Southern Utah. He works in the health care field as a data information and special project manger and as a speaking professional.
Paul L. Kuehnert, MS, RN Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)
Paul Kuehnert is a senior program officer and the team director for the Public Health team. Coming of age in the 1960s with parents who were faith community-based activists for peace and justice, it wasn’t that big of a surprise to anyone in his family when Paul decided to flout gender norms and become a nurse. What started as a bit of a dare and a way to make ends meet transformed into a vocation when he became a public health nurse early in his career. Serving children and parents in St. Louis’ Head Start Program ignited his passion for community-focused health promotion and advocacy—a passion that just won’t quit.
As an executive leader for the past 20 years, Paul has led both governmental and community-based organizations in order to help people lead healthier lives. In the late 1980s he was a founder and later CEO of Community Response, Inc., one of the Chicago area’s largest housing, nutrition and social service providers for people living with HIV/AIDS.
