"Tyson Dever is without a doubt the best motivational speaker I have ever heard in person. Tyson’s message of overcoming life’s obstacles, and having a positive, winning attitude is truly inspirational. He leaves the audience feeling better about their own personal lives, careers, and plans for the future. I am a better person for meeting Tyson, learning his story, and following his journey to where he is now in life. If you have the opportunity, and need someone to inspire students and adults alike, bring this young man in, and I promise you will not be disappointed."

"Tyson spoke to our employees at our site as well as our local high school about safety, motivation, adversity and strength. Tyson does an outstanding job using his life circumstances to teach and motivate each and every person listening. The program he presented was very beneficial to my site, and we have been accident-free since his presentation. My employees were very grateful for the story he shared, and have applied it to their lives. His message is beneficial for all ages, and I highly recommend you have him share his experience with your school, business or entity!"

Tyson has a unique talent for reaching the hearts of his audience. He connects by combining active participation with his story of perseverance, determination, and grit. But I think students believe him and trust him because there is no grandiose attempt to manipulate emotions; he is genuine, honest, authentic. I trust Tyson to deliver a message teenagers (and adults) need to hear.
- Terry Hamm, Director of Texas Association of Student Councils
