About me
Kristi Hoss Schiller is the founder of K9s.org, the national umbrella organization behind K9s4COPs and K9s4KIDs, which has placed more than 400 elite detection dogs with law enforcement agencies and schools across the United States. A Texas on-air personality and digital pioneer named the Queen of the Internet by Forbes, Schiller built a national platform before a violent attack in 1999 changed everything. The question she asked from the back of an ambulance that night became the founding story of a national movement. K9 teams placed through her programs have contributed to more than nine billion dollars in contraband seized and now protect more than two million students every school day. A charismatic and compelling storyteller, Schiller brings hard-won insight to every stage, challenging audiences to get off the sidelines, follow their passion, and build something that matters. She is a proud mother to the most incredible daughter in the world, the one who will carry on her legacy when she cannot, and everything she builds, she builds for her.
