Some people are told they’ll live a different life—and they let that define them. Others take that challenge and turn it into greatness. Ben is the definition of a fighter, a champion, and a man who refuses to be a victim.
Meet Ben Kjar: born with Crouzon syndrome, a rare craniofacial condition, he transformed challenges into victories. As Utah Valley University's first NCAA Division I Wrestling All-American, Ben's journey exemplifies resilience. At 40, he clinched the World Championship in Greco-Roman Wrestling in Greece, representing the USA. Beyond the mat, Ben inspires globally as a professional speaker, sharing his story with millions.
His upcoming documentary, "STANDOUT: The Ben Kjar Story," premiered in Hollywood in February 2025. Ben and his wife, LaCol, are proud parents of three beautiful adopted children, all under five. He believes true wealth comes from embracing diverse cultures and connecting deeply with people.
