About Tony Christiansen
Tony Christiansen is considered by many to be one of the worlds leading motivational and inspirational speakers. After a horrific railway accident left him without legs at the age of nine Tony Christiansen has faced life head on creating challenges and achieving success by choosing not to say the words "I can't".
He is a successful businessman, a qualified lifeguard with over 33 rescues to his name, a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a motor racing and speedway race car champion, a gold medal winning athlete and New Zealand's first disabled pilot to learn and fly solo. Tony has also climbed Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro and is the best selling author of Race You To The Top.
Tony had artistic talents and picked up after school job's sign-writing stock-cars and writing price tickets for local retail outlets. He left school with average marks and got his first jobs as a ticket writer for the Woolworth and New World Supermarket chains. Tony's next job was for the Tauranga Museum as a sign writer. He learnt the sign-writing business during his time there before getting a job with 'Commercial Signs', a local sign-writing and screen printing company.
Tony left Commercial Signs only to wind up buying the company a few years later at the age of 27. Over the next 15 year's Tony grew the business to be one of the largest commercial sign-writing businesses in New Zealand.
Now in demand around the world as a keynote speaker Tony uses a painter's trestle as his speaking platform and tells the story of his life simply and directly, with the down-to-earth humour and common sense that have made him so popular. His story will make you laugh and make you cry but your audience will never forget Tony Christiansen.
