On January 5th, 1980, Chet McDoniel was born into this life with no arms and shortened legs. Though dealt a vicious blow in the delivery room, Chet's parents decided to raise him as they would any other child. They instilled a positive attitude in Chet that carries with him through to this day.

"Overall - he was amazing - It’s the little things in life that pass us by and Chet helps you realize that we choose to have a good attitude and make the most of our lives - It is an unbelievable feeling that you have with his presence is in your eyes, his voice entering your ears, and then his character enters your heart. Chet is an inspiration to everyone."

"We were very pleased with Chet’s presentation to our team. His message was clear and impactful, and his life’s story filled with examples of his faith, personal strength and positive attitude. It would be impossible to walk away from a meeting with Chet without realizing how truly blessed we all are, as well as how we can sometimes react negatively or in a petty manner when faced with challenges in our lives. What Chet faces in a single day, most of us never realize in a lifetime. He is a true inspiration and I would highly recommend him to others as a motivational speaker to other groups.

"Chet did a fantastic job! He was the last speaker at our teacher inservice, and the program could not have been more appropriate for the audience. The focus was on working with kids with special needs and the challenges they face. We tried to show how a positive attitude on the part of the teachers and the students themselves changes everything. Chet lit up the room with his positve attitude and the teachers were able to see how this attitude helped lead him to success!"
