On April 3, 2001, Chad was involved in a serious accident leaving him a quadriplegic. Chad s dreams were not paralyzed that day. Since that fateful event Chad has done the following: Started Chad Hymas Communications, Inc., a professional speaking company, designed to motivate businesses and corporations to use their wings and reach seemingly impossible heights. The Wall Street Journal calls Chad Hymas one of the 10 most inspirational people in the world At 37 years of age Chad is the youngest ever to receive the CPAE award and be inducted into the National Speaker Hall Of Fame. Last year Chad spoke at 220 different events traveling just over 300,000 miles. Speaking on 5 Continents and 4 Countries Chad has shared his personal message and entertained many audiences from organizations such as Wells Fargo, Blue Cross Blue Shields, Ford, IHC, Coca Cola, and the Utah Jazz. He is a member of the National Speakers Association and is a CSP (Certified Speaking Professional). A designation achieved by fewer than 8% in the speaking industry. He was most recently inducted into the Speaker Hall Of Fame. The past president of the National Speakers Association Utah chapter. Maintaining his hobby and dream of managing a 5100 acre elk preserve with his father, Kelly. He has raced in marathons, and in the summer of 2003, Chad set a world record by wheeling his chair from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas (513 miles). Participating in wheelchair athletic competition including basketball, rugby, wheelchair racing, and officiating basketball (a dream come true). Spending many hours with other injured individuals in therapy, encouraging them to overcome their challenges, focus on dreams and make them a reality, and to love life for all that it has to offer. To achieve the unachievable and to reach for the unreachable. Chad s greatest accomplishment is that he remains a devoted husband to his loving wife Shondell, and proud father to their four children Christian, Kyler, Jordan, and Gracee!
