Mick Ebeling
Recently honored as one of the AdAge’s Top 50 Most Creative People of 2014, one of four of the 2014 Titanium Cannes Lions, and the 2014 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award, Mick Ebeling is a film/television/commercial producer, philanthropist, technology trailblazer, author, entrepreneur and public speaker. Ebeling is CEO of Not Impossible Labs, an organization that develops creative solutions to address real-world problems.
Not Impossible Labs was founded on Mick’s firm belief that nothing is impossible.
Not Impossible began with the development of the award-winning device, The EyeWriter which enables individuals with paralysis to create art using only the movement of their eyes. The subject of Intel's "Look Inside" campaign, Not Impossible’s Project Daniel enabled Ebeling to fly to Sudan to 3-D-print prosthetic limbs and fit them for children of the war-torn region.
Project Daniel earned many awards, including the Titanium Cannes Lion, along with 3 Bronze Lions (Branded Content, Film, & Cyber), and 1 Gold (Product Design). Project Daniel has also won AICP’s Next Cause Marketing Award, the 2014 One Show Gold Pencil (Design and Intellectual Property & Products, tied for “Best in Show”), the 2014 Silver and Bronze Telly Award, and the 2014 Maker Faire Editor’s Choice Blue Ribbon (Creativity, Ingenuity and Innovation).
He was born in Long Beach, California and raised in Phoenix, AZ. He went onto play basketball for the Air Force Academy before he transferred to University of California, Santa Barbara majoring in political science.
Mick is married to Caskey Ebeling, an American filmmaker. They have three kids, Angus, Bo, and Trace.
