Kantis Simmons

Have you ever met someone who spent 25 years in school?

Have you ever met someone who earned 3 college degrees but didn't pay a *single* penny to receive them?

Have you ever met someone who performed in the 1996 Olympic Games and the very *next* day, went to work on a NASA military jet?

Well meet KANTIS SIMMONS!

Kantis' passion stems from being a poor student. Early on, Kantis gave himself over to peer pressure and had low expectations that surround many unfocused students. However, when he refused to settle for life's second best, he graduated from high school and went on to receive three advanced degrees. Kantis Simmons' life is one that we can all celebrate as proof that you don't have tostart strong to finish strong.

With a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Norfolk State University, a Master of Science degree in Polymer Science & Engineering from Le-high University and a Master of Science degree in Textile and Fiber Engineering from Georgia Tech, he developed new products for Mobil Chemical Company, CIBA Vision,and NASA Research Center.

After 10 years of solving scientific problems, TODAY he travels across the country solving the problems of students and educators. His Academic Success System is designed to reduce the number of dropouts, raise failing test scores and help students and families finance college tuition.

As America's #1 Academic Success Speaker, students and educators rave that his speeches and his books engage, motivate and inspire students to exceed their potential, while empowering them to achieve their goals.

Kantis Simmons provides more than motivational rhetoric and theory. He gives real life solutions that bring real-life results! He is the real deal. His Academic Success System is the real deal. And your audience will remember his message for a real long time!
