John Walsh

In his moving and inspiring presentations, celebrity speaker John Walsh tells the gripping story of how he channeled the most painful event of his life into a mission that would change law enforcement, legislation, and television as we know it.

John Walsh has faced many obstacles along the way, from the FBI's resistance to changing its policies, to the Justice Department's initial refusal to acknowledge his cause, to the Fox television network's decision to cancel "America's Most Wanted." Yet, he found a number of valuable allies who helped to see him through; from law enforcement officials, to members of Congress, to the television executives, governmental officials, and ordinary citizens who believed in his cause and successfully fought to bring "America's Most Wanted" back onto the air.

Above all else, John Walsh is living proof that one person can make a difference. As he tells his audiences -- if you believe in something and put your passion in service of it, you will find plenty of good people to support you, willing to help you achieve your dreams -- no matter how great or small your mission.
