IACP FALL CONFERENCE

September 12 - 13, 2012

Crowne Plaza Hotel & Conference Center at Historic Union Station, Indianapolis

Featuring Keynote Speaker Josh Bleill

Indianapolis Colts Community Spokesperson

“Life begins when we embrace our bad days and keep going forward, one step at a time.”

Marine Corporal Josh Bleill is a native of Greenfield, Indiana. After graduating high school, Josh attended Purdue University. After his personal education concluded, Josh decided to serve his country by joining the United States Marine Corps in 2004, and was activated for a tour of duty in Iraq in 2006.

While serving in Iraq, Corporal Bleill was severely injured, resulting in the loss of both of his legs. After extensive rehabilitation, Bleill returned to Indiana in August of 2008, where he attacked his new life head-on.

This new life included employment as the Indianapolis Colts Community Spokesperson. Indianapolis Colts Owner, Jim Irsay, has described Bleill as “very talented, bright-eyed, and skilled.”

Further, Irsay stated, “Josh had one of the toughest roads of all in recovering and finding a way to live his life to the fullest. I know he’s going to touch many lives for us.”

One of Bleill’s more recent duties as a member of the Colts organization was to co-author a book, One Step At A Time: A Young Marine’s Story of Courage, Hope, and a New Life in the NFL, which further details Josh’s unique and inspiring story. Bleill claims, “Life begins when we embrace our bad days and keep going forward, one step at a time.”
