Joe Rhea Biography
On September 11th 1984 Joe Rhea sustained one of the single most catastrophic injuries a human being can endure. While playing football he broke his neck, and was left paralyzed from the neck down. "Be prepared to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair," was what Joe was told at the age of 14. End of story, right? Wrong! It was at that moment that Joe made the decision that would forever shape his life. If given an opportunity to defy the odds, remaining in that wheelchair was simply not an option. Seven days later, that opportunity showed itself.
Today Joe Rhea is a walking, running, snow-skiing, single digit handicap golfing, and life saving human being. Even today his neurologist is amazed at what he can do. His story is truly inspirational on so many levels
Rhea’s catastrophic life changing event has taught him many lessons in life. It forced him to adapt and reevaluate, to see things in a different light. It has taught Joe how to succeed. As a result of this growth, many have asked him how he did it, how did he overcome such tremendous adversity. So to really answer that question, Rhea has created a keynote presentation sharing his life story, but more importantly, sharing his life lessons; lessons one can only receive going through catastrophe. It’s this information that separates Rhea from the thousands of other speakers you can choose from. Rhea is so unlike any other speaker out there. He is not cookie-cutter, he is not going to sugar coat it the reality of what can happen when one makes a poor decision involving alcohol. Rhea will challenge you and everyone else in that room to be a better person, live a fuller life, and not to pass the buck. There are so many people who settle for mediocrity, not Joe Rhea. He truly is, “Not Your Average Joe.”

Joe Rhea Reviews

Recently, we were lucky enough to have Mr. Joe Rhea return to Molloy College for a presentation to our Department of Athletics, Student-Athletes and Student Government. The subject couldn't have been more appropriate or delivered in a more meaningful, powerful way. Joe's presentation is titled "Bars, Cars, and Catastrophes," and speaks to the destructive things that are possible when people make bad decisions with regards to drinking and driving, and overall reckless, irresponsible behavior. But Joe's story is also one of perseverance and dedication as he overcame his own catastrophic spinal cord injury while playing high school football. One thing that left an impression on me is how Joe detailed the moment he fractured his spine on that field, doing something he had done hundreds of times, and how your life can change forever in an instant. For some the damage could have been permanent but he worked hard, harder than I'm sure anyone could imagine, and he was lucky. As I said it could not have been more powerful. I appreciate a speaker who is honest and who cares about those listening, and Joe undoubtedly does. I also know a speaker has left an impression when the students are still talking about it days later, and that has been the case both times Joe visited our campus. I recommend him without any hesitation to anyone looking for a similar outcome. Truly yours, James Zegers, MA, ATC --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
