Biography

Ruben Gonzalez
Incredible Olympic Story - Business Author - Award Winning Speaker- An Olympic experience you’ll never forget.

A seemingly “ordinary guy,” Ruben Gonzalez wasn’t a gifted athlete. He didn’t take up the sport of luge until he was 21. Against all odds, four years later he was competing in the Winter Olympics. At the age of 47, he was racing against 20-year-olds in the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
When Ruben competes in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics (at the age of 59) he will become the oldest Winter Olympian in history and the only one to ever compete in five
Winter Olympics EACH in a different decade. Ruben speaks from Olympic experience. He teaches the personal effectiveness system he used to achieve success again and again in both the Olympics and in business. He is proof that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things if they will follow a few simple steps. From Dubai to Toronto, from Hanoi to Cancun, from Singapore to Africa, Ruben has inspired and motivated audiences around the world.

His client list reads like a Who’s Who of Corporate America:
Dell, Coca-Cola, Farmers Insurance, Ortho McNeal, the Million Dollar Round Table, Oracle, Wells Fargo, Century21, and even the U.S. Treasury Department.
