Speaker Biography
Carl Cleavenger is a severe trauma survivor, entrepreneur, and keynote speaker who survived a catastrophic vehicle fire in the Mojave Desert that claimed the life of his special-needs son, James, and left Carl with third-degree burns across more than half his body. Surviving seven major surgeries and six weeks in a medically induced coma at the Grossman Burn Center, Carl rebuilt his physical and psychological capacity through three explicit cognitive anchors: Desire, Movement, and Meaning.
