For someone born without limbs, Chris Koch is certainly an astounding person, with no time for self-pity. In fact, he has gone beyond society’s expectations to do more than what most people with arms and legs do.

“I could look at life and think, ‘Poor me, I’m missing arms and legs’, or I could think, ‘So I’m missing arms and legs, but look at all the things I’ve been able to go out there and do, despite not having arms and legs,” said Koch (pronounced “cook”), his eyes ablaze with a passion for life.
