Amy Roloff

Amy Roloff is a business woman, inspirational speaker, TV star, philanthropist, farm owner, author and mom.

Amy realized her passion for people and helping others reach their potential as a kid growing up to who she is today. Her challenges, experiences as a little person, a graduate, an early education teacher, a manager of a soccer club, a youth team soccer coach and as a hit TV show star are some ways that has led her to naturally inspire and touch people lives. She has made a difference and wants to know that others can make a difference too.

Amys desire to reach out and inspire others is reflected in her many speaking engagements to hundreds of audiences. She has spoken to various groups, colleges, universities, schools, non-profit organizations, business associations, women groups and faith based groups. Her talks motivate and inspire individuals to overcome their challenges and to realize their success, value and potential as an individual. She continues to empower audiences by her stories, insights on topics and her personal touch. Many event planners are often surprised with the outcome and success of doubling the number of people attending their event and the increase in their fundraising efforts because Amy was the speaker. Amy co-authored "Little People Big Values," a book that takes an inspirational look into her life and family. As an individual she will encourage audiences that the YOU that you are meant to be makes a difference.

In 2009 Amy founded, established, and continues to serve as president of the non-profit Amy Roloff Charity Foundation (ARCF). A foundation established to advocate, support, inspire and change kids lives including youth at risk, kids with special needs and kids with other challenges. To date Amy has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through her own fundraising efforts and partnering with other organizations that educates and supports kids locally, nationally and internationally.

As a devoted wife and involved mom to her four children Jeremy, Zachary, Molly and Jacob, Amys faith, family and sense of value is what gives her focus and purpose in all that she does. As a working woman and mom Amy is invested in balancing all aspects of her life including managing to navigate a hectic family life alongside a very project-orientated and successful husband and family farm. She may be best known for filming her TLC phenomenon hit reality show "Little People Big World" that tells the story of her and her family for over 6 seasons of filming - 230 episodes averaging over 2.5 million viewers worldwide each year.

Amys life experiences and story of overcoming challenges has led to appearances on Oprah, Good Morning America, Rachel Ray Show, The View, Jay Leno and others. The New York Times, People Magazine, McCalls, and numerous other media outlets have interviewed her.

What is most inspiring about Amy is that she has not let her own personal challenge of having achondroplasia dwarfism or a childhood illness stop her from taking action and moving forward. Amy may only be 4'2 but she never considered herself as having a disability.
