Matt Schroeder

I was once in a serious auto accident with many major broken bones and vertebrae in my neck, capped off with traumatic brain injury, followed by more than ten weeks of coma. I’ve fully recovered even though “experts” told me I’d never walk, and family is a very big deal in my life. It always was and is now, and they visited, talked to, and were by my side for more than ten years of recovery. Now I have a master’s degree from the Ohio State University, and I speak clearly, walk, run, jump, and drive! Moreover I am a keynote or motivational and/or inspirational speaker, and I would like to speak for your upcoming assembly, gathering, or banquet that you are having or know of. Typically I speak to sports teams, colleges/universities/high schools, churches, youth groups, or anywhere people would like some motivation &/or inspiration.

I had a chance to have an individual, powerful, and memorable discussion with Christopher Reeve (AKA Superman; or rather he was the world famous actor who portrayed the Man of Steel,) on the evening before he spoke at my bachelors commencement (June 13, 2003.) A rare and beautiful photograph was taken just after our motivational encounter, and it can be seen in the videos on my website (www.mattschroeder.org,) but w/o describing the details of our meeting, I’ll say it was beneficial to both parties involved, and it is revisited during my presentation.
