A natural born storyteller, and gifted with humour, Ronan's message empowers audiences to overcome adversity, take risks and achieve peak performance.

Born with a lower limb disability, Dr. Ronan Tynan, was "as wild as a March hare" as a young man, riding horses and racing motorcycles. While the first disabled student admitted to the National College of Physical Education in Limerick, Ronan suffered complications from an auto accident resulting in his legs being amputated at age 20.

Selected to be a member of the Irish Tenors, Dr. Tynan was introduced to international audiences and has become known for his unique voice and irresistible appeal.

Acting on his mother's advice, Dr. Tynan went on to launch a solo career. He has achieved success that could have only existed in the farthest reaches of his dreams. Dr. Tynan continues to tour with the Irish Tenors and as a solo artist.
