By rights, Chris Powell would have every legitimate excuse to be more than happy with an ordinary life. Instead, he's overcome his limits to become a teacher, author, motivational speaker and athlete…
Chris was born with cerebral palsy. He has limited use of his hands and has experienced frequent falls because of cerebral palsy. As a young child, he needed assistance from his family to accomplish minimal tasks. Dressing, feeding and bathing were some of the daily living activities that his family provided.​

In 1998, Chris received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Maryland. On the day of graduation, Chris actually walked to receive his degree. Although it took 10 years for Chris to receive a degree, it was worth it. It was a dual accomplishment. Not only did Chris receive his degree, but he attained valuable life skills in the process. Constant drive and determination led Chris to fulfill his goal.​
