Joe Rhea Biography

There are moments in all of our lives that we can look back upon and say that was a defining moment in our life. It is without hesitation that Joe Rhea can look back and know when his life was forever altered. At the age of 14 on September 11, 1984, Rhea sustained a broken neck on the football field and was paralyzed from the neck down. The doctors said he would never walk again.

Can you imagine what this moment would feel like? What would go through your mind? There are only two types of people in this world, ones who fight, and ones who don't.

Rhea chose to fight!

Rhea's inspirational story began days later when he began getting some feeling back in his left leg. That's when the doctors and physical therapists gave him a choice: work harder than you can imagine and endure more pain than you have ever thought possible or to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.

So Rhea worked hard and felt pain. And now, not only is he not in a wheelchair, he walks, runs, plays golf and skis.

Rhea has shared his story with thousands of people around the world. He has helped others with devastating injuries lead a full life, and he will inspire your audience with insights into how to stay positive no matter what the circumstances.

After his presentation, you'll know that he really is not your average Joe.
