#158: Jeff Glasbrenner on his journey from amputee to the top of Everest

Jeff Glasbrenner is no stranger to adversity. After a tragic farming accident as an 8-year-old he was forced to overcome more as a child than most of us encounter our entire lives. Jeff lost his right leg below the knee and quickly realized that more had changed than just his physical abilities. He’s needed to rely on others for more than ever and figure out how to live a new life as an amputee. But Jeff also learned to attack any struggle he encountered with laser focus. And as a result, Jeff has also accomplished things that many of us only dream about.

He’s a decorated professional athlete winning the college wheelchair basketball national championship, during which he set a scoring record with 63 points and 27 rebounds in one game. He played professionally in Europe for three years (Madrid, Spain and Rome, Italy). He’s a three-time Paralympian (2000 Bronze medal, 2004 and 2008 games) and a two-time World Champion (Gold Medal).

Jeff is also a 25-time Ironman athlete, and a driven hiker and climber on his way to completing the Explorer’s Grand Slam which is an adventurer’s challenge to reach the North and South Poles and at the top of the highest peaks on all 7 continents (Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Vinson, and Carstensz Pyramid).

But most importantly, Jeff is a dedicated stay-at-home Dad to his daughter, Grace, and son, Gavin while his wife Elizabeth runs a successful technology company in Little Rock, AR.


We talked all about his journey and his mindset navigating a traumatic event and using it for fuel to grow.
