Select Testimonials
It's a privilege to hear Kinder's words as he shares lessons from a life rich in struggle, scars, and success. Lessons applied on that day in September. There's not much room to learn on a day like that … only time to prove. He is a proven man. It's an honor to know him, and other heroes from that day and since. And humbling to watch him lead at the breakfast table the way he did on a battlefield on our own shores.
Every once in a while, you hear a story that stops you in your tracks—one that challenges you, wrecks you, and changes the way you see the world. That's what Darin Kinder's story of 9/11 has done for me since the first time I heard it over a decade ago. It's not just heroic and compelling—it's a wake-up call. In a world that leans hard into comfort and complacency, Darin reminds us that how we live our everyday moments matters deeply. This keynote will stir something in you and leave you wanting a life with more purpose, more courage, and a journey that ends with a “dirty suit.”
Bury Me in a Dirty Suit reads like modern day battle cry. Darin Kinder doesn't just challenge men, he walks with us, shoulder to shoulder, calling us back to purpose, sacrifice, and Christlike strength. This book is raw, real, and rooted in the gospel. It's not about polish—it's about presence. If you're ready to stop drifting and start fighting—for your faith, your family, and your brothers—this is your next step.
Darin Kinder brought powerful insight and authenticity to our Milestone Leadership Meeting. His stories of courage, service, and purpose deeply resonated with our team and challenged us to lead with conviction and “Get our suits dirty!” His message connected perfectly with our mission of building strong, values-driven leaders. We're grateful for his impact and highly recommend him as a speaker.
"Darin's incredible gift is relating his unique story of his experience as not only a 9/11 survivor, but a distinguished 25-year career as a Secret Service agent serving 5 Presidents to the everyday challenges we face in our personal and professional lives. He inspired our team to work together as a team to tackle our unique challenges and to dig in and get our "suits dirty" each and every day."
