Brian Williams is a 4th degree black belt in martial arts. He flips, he kicks and he inspires!

Brian grew up in martial arts since he was 4 years old. His instructor taught him that kindness was the ultimate form of self-defense. They weren’t just training to become black belts in the arts, but Kindness Ninjas-- people who carry out acts of kindness without seeking recognition. Fast forward 22 years. At the age of 26, Brian founded Think Kindness, a non-profit dedicated to inspiring kindness in schools around the world.

Brian’s infectious energy and positivity have earned him national media exposure on MTV, USA Today, & MSNBC. He has spoken to more than 400,000 students across the country, collected hundreds of thousands of shoes for families around the world, produced 2 award-winning humanitarian documentaries and has traveled to Africa multiple times to carry out Global Acts of Kindness.

Brian currently resides in Reno, Nevada with his wife and 1 year-old baby girl... who is already starting to Karate Chop everything in sight.
