WHO IS DUSTIN KELM?

From an early age, Dustin Kelm was drawn to the stage and has been acting since 1st grade.  Not afraid to stand out or take on challenges, Dustin's life has been dramatic.


After receiving a unicycle as a gift when he was 10, Dustin focused all his energy into developing skills which eventually led to him becoming a World Champion and three-time National Champion unicyclist.  The life experiences gained from national and world competitions at such a young age have been invaluable.    


In 1992, Dustin kicked off his solo-performing career with a tour in Japan.  At that time, he began developing what became a one-of-a-kind performance incorporating inspirational and motivational messages illustrated with world-class unicycling set to high-energy music.  For the next 30 years Dustin honed this incredible, unique unicycle performance.  He performed over 1,600 awe-inspiring shows in over 30 countries on 5 continents, drawing crowds and sharing the Gospel.


Dustin is an accomplished actor.  For almost 3 decades Dustin has been sought after during the Easter season and has portrayed Jesus in 7 different productions.  Very few people can say they've been crucified 100's of times!  This experience has given Dustin a unique perspective from which to speak about the greatest act of Love that has changed the world.


In 2023, after a few years of memorization and development, Dustin launched Red Letters: a dramatic presentation of the book of Revelation.  Through this dramatic recitation of the words of Revelation, audiences are captivated hearing God's Word come to life.   


Whether speaking to 15 people or 15,000, Dustin delivers a powerful presentation unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
