Shawn Harper is a former NFL offensive lineman who played for the Rams, Colts, and in NFL Europe. A junior college Hall of Famer at NIACC, he was drafted to the NFL from Indiana University, Bloomington, where he earned degrees in criminal justice and sociology.
For nearly 20 years, Shawn has directed American Services and Protection, one of Ohio's largest minority-owned security service providers, based in his hometown of Columbus. He has engaged corporate audiences at notable companies like Dow, Sonic, JP Morgan Chase, FedEx, and Procter & Gamble.
An accomplished author, Shawn's books, *The Winning Edge: 8 Principles That Will Bring Out the Winner in You* and *The Winologist*, are available on Amazon. Growing up in a single-parent household with five siblings, Shawn faced poverty, learning disabilities, and a stutter, earning a "Most Likely to Fail" vote in school. Yet, he transformed adversity into opportunity, inspiring others to embrace a winner’s mindset.
In April 2023, Shawn Harper was our keynote speaker at the Lean Rocket Lab LOCAL Fundraising event, supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses in Jackson, Michigan. Having heard Shawn speak before, I knew his passion for winning was perfect for our diverse audience, which included business owners, community leaders, and educators. Shawn also held a special session for our program participants, where he shared his story and inspired them directly. His powerful, compassionate message sparked determination and a drive to win among the audience. We received overwhelmingly positive feedback and highly recommend Shawn for any event
