FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IRVING, Texas – Sept. 17, 2015 – The North American Repossessors Summit (NARS), an industry event hosted by the American Recovery Association, Inc. (ARA) and headline sponsor Harding Brooks Insurance, is proud to announce keynote speaker, Rocky Bleier, will speak at the eighth annual event to be held April 14-15, 2016. A courageous tale that takes place on the football fields of America and the battle fields of Vietnam, Bleier will share the lessons he learned through the NFL and the United States Army to motivate attendees to reach for their goals, despite the unexpected obstacles life brings.

Rocky Bleier embodies heroism, determination, teamwork and leadership. After being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1968, Bleier was Rocky_Bleier3drafted by the U.S. Army to fight in Vietnam. After being severely wounded, he was told he would never walk again but he bravely rehabilitated himself for re-entry into the NFL. Defeating all odds, Bleier regained his running back spot on the Steelers’ roster. The winner of four Super Bowl championships, he continues to inspire audiences and peers alike. Bleier was the recipient of the 2015 Eagle Rare Life Heroism Award for his incredible drive and inspirational story. The hard lessons Bleier learned early in life helped him overcome adversity and reach his goals in life after football. Some of those lessons are described in the popular book based on his life, Fighting Back, and on the ABC-TV movie by the same name

“The obstacles that Rocky has overcome throughout his life makes him a true leader who will be able to provide invaluable lessons to the recovery industry,” said Jerry Wilson, President of ARA. “His story and message, along with the insight of other NARS speakers, will leave attendees with new outlooks to help drive their businesses toward success.”
