Personal Details

Bio

My name is Jamel Herring 2012 Olympian, former world champion boxer, and proud U.S. Marine of 9 years of service. Born in New York, my life has been anything but smooth, but every up and down in it has made me the person I am today. In the Marine Corps, I developed the discipline of staying focused through the hard times while being an inspiration to others around me through leadership qualities and sacrifice. Those qualities carried me through my professional boxing career when I was able to attain my dream of becoming a world champion. However, titles and medals speak little about my story. Like many veterans, I have had to fight my own battles-that of living with PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder.

Today, I am passionate about using my experiences in service to help others.
