Celebrity keynote speaker for hire John Cena is one of the most polarizing figures in the history of professional wrestling and has elevated his career outside of the ring as an actor, TV personality, philanthropist and keynote speaker.

A Massachusetts native, John played football in college and first pursued a career in bodybuilding while working at a local gym.
