Conor Lyne
Conor Lyne is our youngest speaker thus far and also our first and likely only skier :-) given Ireland and skiing rarely happen in the same sentence. Born in the UK to Irish parents and raised in Utah (hence the skiing). His childhood was spent skiing in winter and summers on the west coast of Ireland. His dream of skiing in the Olympics meant endless days of training since the tender age of 11. He fulfilled his dream of competing for Ireland in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia with a broken shoulder. Accomplishing his own dream drove him to be curious about the dreams of others. Over the summer of 2017, he travelled to 21 countries to found Wander Faces, a photography project aimed at deconstructing stereotypes of people around the world. His goal is 100 countries before he is 30. He's already at 52 Here's Conor's story
