Chad Kempel is a Boise-based youth keynote speaker with 4 Guinness World Records titles, an MA in Research Psychology, and three talks built for Idaho high schools. Every claim he makes on stage is publicly verifiable. Available across the Treasure Valley, statewide, and nationwide.
When you book a youth speaker from out of state, you're paying for a flight, a hotel, and a speaker who has never driven past your school. Chad lives here. He's in the Treasure Valley. He knows what Idaho students are dealing with because his own children attend Idaho schools. Booking a local speaker in Boise means lower travel costs, faster scheduling, and a speaker who understands your community — not one reading a Wikipedia entry about it on the plane.
For schools in Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Star, Mountain Home, and everywhere across the Treasure Valley, Chad is a same-day drive. For schools in Sun Valley, Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, and Pocatello, Chad is a short drive to your door. For schools in McCall, Moscow, Coeur d’Alene, Sandpoint, and Lewiston, he’ll come to you — no airline markup, no out-of-state fees. Coeur d’Alene and Sun Valley in particular are communities that invest in their students and understand the value of bringing in a speaker whose credentials hold up. And for schools outside Idaho, he travels nationwide and internationally.
Chad set all four Guinness World Records titles while pushing his five children — quintuplets born at 27 weeks — in a stroller. Marathon: 4:42:49. Half marathon: 2:19:54. 10K: 1:04:52. 1K: 5:34. He holds an MA in Research Psychology and taught psychology and statistics at San Jose State University for five years. He volunteered inside San Quentin State Prison for five years teaching math, unpaid, by choice. He counseled children with disabilities. He doesn’t just tell stories — he gives students vocabulary for what they’ve been feeling.
