What Sets Us Apart
In a world full of big agencies and endless rosters, Voices of Valor was created to be something rare: a bureau that leads with heart, integrity, and authenticity. We aren’t interested in filling a database with names, we’re here to build a community of voices that truly matter.
What sets us apart is our personal touch. Every speaker we represent is carefully chosen, not just for their resume, but for the impact of their story and the meaning behind their message. We take the time to understand who they are, what drives them, and how their voice can create real change in the lives of others.
Our founder’s background - from military service to building successful speaker platforms and representing world-class talent - has shaped a vision that combines discipline, creativity, and compassion. This unique foundation allows us to bring together veterans, athletes, entertainers, doctors, and thought leaders under one roof, amplifying voices that inspire across every corner of society.
At Voices of Valor, we believe a speaker’s role is not just to fill a stage, but to ignite something lasting in the hearts of their audience. That belief guides every partnership, every booking, and every story we help bring to life.
