About Kyle

Kyle and his two brothers, Brent and Evan, were born and raised in Atlanta, USA. Kyle has lived with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy all his life, but he was fortunate to have had a very supportive family. A sport-loving family, his parents and brothers always did whatever they could to include him in their games and activities. These experiences laid the foundation for a very determined young man who believed he could achieve anything he wanted.
The turning point in his life came after seeing his brother, Brent, complete the Ironman in Louisville in 2010. He wanted to know if he could do the Ironman too, and after taking some advice from famous father and son, Rick and Dick Hoyt, they began training together. A lot of hard work later, they ran in a 10k race in Atlanta and followed that up with a triathlon in Florida. It was after this race in 2011 that Kyle was inspired to set up the Kyle Pease Foundation to assist people with disabilities to get access to sports.
Kyle and Brent have run countless races including four Ironman Triathlons, and they ran their first Boston Marathon in 2021. The two brothers published a memoirs book in 2019, and have been keynote speakers since 2014.
See keynotes with Kyle & Brent PeaseFrom the very beginning, the Pease family found a way to include each family member in everything they did. “When there is a wheel there is a way” was the family motto, and ‘Together We Wheel!’ was their battle cry.
In this heartfelt keynote the Pease brothers entertain audiences with stories about growing up Peasey, and how it meant living a life of doing all within your power to succeed, and to also ensure that no single person is ever left on the sidelines.
They show attendees the profound ways a family proved that by illuminating and including individuals with disabilities they were able to find and reveal who they truly are.
Through the Pease brothers’ unbreakable bond, they show us how individual and team focus, determination, and spirit are the keys to achieving and accomplishing feats others might say are impossible. Their incredibly inspirational story of brotherly love and desire for inclusion will instill hope and provide guidance for corporations, students, educators, faith-based groups, athletes, moms, dads, and special needs individuals. There is a powerful message for all that is applicable to so many facets of life.

This engaging keynote takes audiences to a whole new outlook on their lives, helping them realize that finding their finish is possible despite whatever challenges lie ahead.
This amazing journey started when Kyle watched his brother finish the Louisville triathlon. He counts it as ‘one of the most transformative moments in [his] life.’ Kyle asked his brother ‘Can people in wheelchairs do IRONMAN?’ Brent never hesitated with his response; the answer was a resounding ‘YES!’. Even though finishing an IRONMAN was something that had never before crossed his mind, from that day forward Kyle wanted in.
Allow America’s most highly recognized team of brother/brother triathletes take you on their journey from their first race, through the multiple ‘NOs’, to the final ‘YES’ from KONA, getting to the start line, the ups and downs to the finish line, and beyond. Throughout this inspiring keynote the Pease brothers provide a glimpse behind the scenes of the different challenges they faced and overcame to find their finish at the Ironman World Championships in Kona Hawaii.

Brent and Kyle were exactly what our sales team needed to hear and it was exactly the message I was looking for from a leadership perspective. There's no substitute for hard work and not only do Kyle & Brent certainly don't shy away from that, but they define what hard work is. I believe that experience in life really leads to perspective.... and the more perspective you have in life, the better off you will be. That's exactly what the brothers provided to us; perspective on what we should be grateful for, perspective on what it takes to rise above adversity, and perspective on never giving up on your dreams. It's an invaluable lesson that fits well in any setting. We're extremely grateful that we got the opportunity to spend time with such great guys; and their story of brotherhood and the bond that they share is rare, unique, and truly inspiring.

When we plan our yearly summit, one of our biggest priorities is making sure we choose impactful speakers. Our Managing Partner recently met Kyle Pease through a mutual friend and thought he would be an excellent choice to come speak at one of our biggest agency events of the year. Kyle’s talk “Get Up” was the exact message our firm needed to hear. What is our why? What motivates us to Get Up? What motivates us to do what we do? Kyle’s inspirational story left everyone in awe and pumped up to make every second count. Thank you Kyle for touching the hearts and minds of everyone in our firm and making a lasting impact that will be talked about for years to come.

Kyle and Brent really inspired our Young Professional Employee Resource Group at Cox. Their story and their continued pursuit of excellence in triathlons/racing and inclusion for all types of athletes is absolutely awesome, and encouraged all of us to think bigger and never back down from a challenge.

When planning our Sales Kick-Off meeting, the theme of which was 'The Right Stuff' it was a logical choice to reach out to the Pease Brothers to serve as our motivational speakers. The perseverance, positivity and camaraderie of Kyle and Brent is their own 'Right Stuff' and incredibly inspiring and moving. Laced with humor, their speaking engagement not only brought the audience to a standing ovation, but left all of us---most importantly, our sales team with a 'can do' spirit of inspiration. I would strongly encourage and refer others to tap into Kyle and Brent's message. No matter the event, their story touches everyone and enforces that 'never quit' attitude. Thanks, Kyle and Brent, for making our event such a success!

Meeting Kyle and Brent was not only a joy, but an experience. Hearing them speak opened my eyes to a world that still has much to learn about inclusion, but also to the many people like the Pease Brothers that are breaking down barriers every day. Their passion for people is contagious. An afternoon spent with them creates a desire to do more, not only for inclusion, but sharing your unique gifts with the world. Everyone can learn from them. #TogetherWeWheel
