Meet Chad Murphy-Price.  This man doesn’t know the meaning of the word “impossible”. As an avid waterskier and public speaker, he fully believes in the power of self-determination.   Being able to self-direct his personal care attendants has allowed him to go on many trips and speaking engagements that he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.   Chad has an incredible outlook on life which he uses to inspire others everyday.  We are so fortunate to have him as a member of the Network.

Chad joined the SD Network because he wanted to help others become more self-determined in their lives.  He finds it very rewarding to be able to self-direct his care attendants when he goes on trips and speaking engagements.  He says it makes him feel very self-determined.

What tip or resource would you like to share with people who want to be more self-determined?

The tip Chad would like to share with others is “no matter how hard or how difficult things may seem, always remember to continue the very best you can, and that will in turn get you through the times."

What are some of your hobbies?

In his free time, Chad enjoys doing website design and adaptive waterskiing..  He skies with the Pewaukee Lake Waterski Club every Thursday in summer.
