About Rich Ingram
Retired United States Army Captain Rich Ingram is a keynote speaker and endurance athlete. Despite losing his arm in combat, he continues to embrace life’s challenges and thrive in adversity.

On July 20, 2005, Rich sustained injuries from an IED (improvised explosive device) attack that resulted in the amputation of his left arm, and the Army forced him to retire. Not one to back down from a fight, he was relentless in pursuing his dream of leading men and women in combat as an officer. Working with military leaders and government legislators, policy was changed to allow amputees to commission as officers, and Rich was the first, commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in December 2008. He went on to serve three more tours between Iraq and Afghanistan as a combat engineer officer before retiring in 2013.

Upon retirement, Rich held Leadership positions with a Fortune 500 company and built and sold a profitable small business,.

While recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Rich began competing in the sport of triathlon, which proved to be a catalyst for his recovery and adaptation into a growth mindset, and he continues to push limits running triple-digit mile ultramarathons across the country.
