Live Not Loathe Keynote Speaker from Houston, TX

Jevon Wooden was born & raised on the east side of Rochester, NY. Being from humble beginnings, he’s had his share of obstacles to becoming a successful entrepreneur and cybersecurity professional. At 17, Jevon was arrested and faced seven years in prison. During his time in confinement, he realized he needed to change, which is what he did. God answered his prayers, and with a second chance, Jevon went on to serve in the U.S. Army Reserve for 12 years, deploying overseas three times. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for heroic acts during a suicide bombing during his last deployment to Afghanistan. He holds a Masters in Cybersecurity from Fordham University and an MBA from the University of Maryland - Robert H. Smith School of Business. Jevon is a warrior against mental health issues, suffering from depression and PTSD himself, and an advocate for the Black community in the fight for racial equity. He is the founder of Live Not Loathe, LLC, a mindset and business coaching and speaking firm focusing on helping high achievers obtain “a life they don’t need a vacation from.” He is also the author of “Own Your Kingdom” and co-author of “All Gas No Breaks”.
