Originally from Cancún, Mexico, 35-year-old Arly Velásquez has built a 14-year career in adaptive sports that has made him Mexico’s only representative at the last four Winter Paralympic Games. Ranked solidly among the world’s top 20 monoskiers, he’s been a continental champion multiple times and has also claimed national titles in both the United States and Canada.
Off the slopes, Arly has spent the past 12 years inspiring audiences as a motivational speaker, encouraging children, teens, and adults to dream big and pursue their goals with determination. He has studied film directing, musical composition, and is currently studying architecture.
Arly made his acting debut in Ana, la Serie on Amazon Prime, and was nominated for Best Breakthrough Male Actor for his role in the stage play Cost of Living. He’s also an entrepreneur—and now a baker. A passionate advocate for healthy living and urban cycling, Arly is on a mission to spark a fire in every heart he encounters along his journey.
