Jason Dennen

Author/Inspirational Speaker

Jason Dennen is a Christian, author, inspirational speaker, skydiver, mountain climber, triathlete and explorer. He describes himself on most days as just a normal everyday guy. He was born and raised in New Jersey and moved to Colorado to explore and test his limits in the wide-open spaces of the west. He was in a skydiving accident that almost took his life. The doctor who performed emergency lifesaving surgery on him stared at his comatose body the day after the surgery in utter disbelief. The doctor told his family that he couldn’t believe he survived all of the traumatic injuries that he had incurred during the accident. He said that no one survives what Jason just survived. No one. Jason woke up from a coma that lasted 8 days and required him to undergo multiple surgeries to repair 4 organs and 20 broken bones. His badly broken body required him to stay in the hospital for 3 and a half months, undergo 11 months of rehabilitation and relearn to walk. After being told by his doctor he may never be able to run again, he decided to sign up for a triathlon to test the doctor’s prognosis. Less than 1 year after the accident he completed a triathlon and proved the doctor wrong. The long journey to recovery from the accident allowed him time to reassess the direction of his life and answer the question why was his life spared. This second chance at life revealed to him a new life purpose. He promised himself that he would share his story and what he learned to help others that are going through difficult hardships in their own lives.

Jason is on a mission to inspire people by sharing his story of survival and to empower people to get through life’s most difficult hardships by utilizing the lessons they have already learned throughout their lives and by taking advantage of the strength they already possess inside themselves.
