He s dedicated his life to service for others who have lost functionality, or perhaps never had it. It hasn t been an easy journey, but it has transformed him into a man unlike anything he ever thought he could or would be. He had plenty of black periods to work through, to let go of his old ideas about who he was supposed to be, and the anger and frustration of not being able to be that. With desperation, dedication and determination, and the help and love of his family and friends, Chad set out to reinvent himself, take risks, and do things he never thought he could or would do, even when his body was whole and fully functional. That was the day he began to change his mind about his life s purpose. He met Art Berg, another quadriplegic, who introduced himself without a word but with plenty of action. The doctors determined that psychological therapy wasn t needed, but Chad had another kind of help. Ultimately, Chad Hymas spent many weeks in the hospital and in physical therapy. A few minutes of caution could ve kept his golden life on track, and he would live to regret his decision until he changed his mind about what his life was for. And then a rushed decision to ignore safety in favor of getting home to see his baby boy take his first steps changed everything forever.
In 2001, then-27-year-old Chad Hymas had everything a beautiful wife, two sons, two thriving businesses and parents and brothers who loved and supported him in everything he did.
