Kasey Stelter

Hi! I’m Kasey! I was born with spina bifida and I’ve been a wheelchair user from a young age. My parents were huge advocates for me growing up and they instilled in me a high level of independence. My parents’ goal for me was to live life to its fullest extent, so they encouraged me to be active and push my limits on a daily basis. From a young age, sports were where I was the most active, including track and field (throwing events, sprint races) and wheelchair basketball. I was recruited on a full athletics basketball scholarship for college and even played after college for 2 years. Since then, I’ve turned my focus to other interests, including cooking, travel, whiskey and aviation. I don’t see my wheelchair as a hindrance but rather a device that allows me to see the world and live a fulfilling life. I started this site with my wife, Andrea, as a means of encouraging others like me to embrace life and challenge them to try new things.
