  • Quadriplegia

    Rick Werry was born in a small town in Utah and grew up on a dairy farm, the youngest of four kids. As a teenager, Rick loved sports and being outdoors. In 2007 Rick married his college sweetheart Tara. One year later while building their house, Rick was in a construction accident and broke his neck. His life changed that day as Rick became paralyzed from the chest down. Rick was scared, sad, and unsure what the future would hold when a nurse came into his hospital room. The nurse was holding a red pen and a calendar. She told Rick that any time you accomplish something you couldn't do yesterday we will write it down and call it a "Red Letter Day.”

    Rick has taken that nurse's advice not only in recovering from a spinal cord injury but also in life. In Rick’s ‘wheelchair life’ he has accomplished so many amazing things. He is a husband, a father, an avid hand-cyclist, a wheelchair rugby player, and a hunter. Rick is compiling his life lessons and “Red Letter Days” into a memoir and plans to have it published.

    Rick is passionate about using his journey to inspire others by being featured as a keynote speaker, motivating sports teams through storytelling, presenting to religious organizations, and sharing his story on podcasts.
