Chris Faulknor was born in Boyne City, Michigan. He has been in EMS since 2006, a Paramedic since 2008, and earned his degree in EMS Administration from Columbia Southern University in 2020. While Faulknor is, by trade, a Paramedic and EMS Educator who has taught ambulance service leadership and management to hundreds of students nationally, it's not the war stories from working the night shift that give him his passion. Faulknor has a passion for taking the life experiences of himself and those he speaks to and culminating them into a whirlwind of resources for his students to draw on. He ran a newspaper for a decade, and so his students learn crafty ways to relate to the media. He was a Realtor, and so negotiation skills are at the top. His time spent playing camp counselor allow him to help his students recognize mental health issues in their fellow providers, but it's not just his experiences, it's theirs. He learns about the experiences of those in the room with him and quickly melds them into his presentation to determine what value they add to the group, and before you know it, everyone in the room leaves feeling that they've learned, but also feeling like they've taught the world something from their life as well.

Dr. Paul Kilgore is a board-certified internist, physician-epidemiologist, and physician practicing longevity medicine — and the creator of the DETECTIVE Method™, a 9-step evidence-based framework that translates the science of disease prevention into a personal health strategy anyone can use to live longer and healthier. He is the founder of Quantitative Health (drpaulkilgore.com), where he has built one of the most comprehensive evidence-based longevity ecosystems available directly to the public: 32+ physician-designed AI health tools, two structured courses, a 7-volume checklist library, and a tiered longevity medicine consultation practice. He hosts the "Ask Dr. Paul" podcast and is the author of more than 150 peer-reviewed publications. Born in Detroit, Dr. Kilgore earned his M.D. from Wayne State University in 1991 after completing a Master of Public Health (MPH) at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at the University of Michigan Hospitals in Ann Arbor before moving to Atlanta to work at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — where he served as an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer, the elite federal "Disease Detective" corps trained to investigate outbreaks in real time — and at the Atlanta Veterans Administration Hospital.

He has served as a principal investigator on COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials and conducted research on the Flint Water Crisis. National media including CBS News' The Takeout with Major Garrett and WDET's Detroit Today regularly feature him for his ability to translate complex health science into clear, actionable guidance.

He is board-certified in internal medicine, a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and a Professor at Wayne State University with 36 years of clinical experience. What audiences get from a Kilgore keynote: a speaker who has done the science, written the papers, run the trials, sat at the bedside, built the tools, and worked across cultures and continents — and hands attendees a working library of frameworks and tools they can use the moment the talk ends. In his spare time, Dr. Kilgore actively trains for Sprint, Olympic, and Half-Ironman triathlons (Swimming/Biking/Running) — a personal commitment to the longevity science he teaches.
