About Kimberly
"The Champion-Builder"
In 1998, Kimberly was eyeing an Olympic future, managing the Internationally renowned Ri-Arm Farm under the tutelage of United States Team Member, Mark Leone. Her lifelong dream was coming true—with cherries on top. Until July 2, 1998 ended that dream, and life as she’d known it.
A horrific car accident with a tractor-trailer left Kimberly with multiple, permanent injuries, the most devastating being a traumatic brain injury. She was forced to relearn to read, write, walk and talk again. An added diagnosis of Lyme disease complicated recovery, and Kimberly faced bigger hurdles than she could ever imagine…
But this former pro-athlete was not down and out–she was evolving into a true champion! Her life’s journey is miraculous, and hearing her tell it is life-changing. Treat your group to a program they won’t ever forget!

“Kimberly is "positive motivation personified." A brief encounter, an extended meeting, or listening to her share her story -- the experience causes a paradigm shift. Her story simultaneously inspires gratitude and confidence. She knows what courage is, and she quietly but persistently generates confidence in others. I recommend her for a conversation right now, and for a speaking engagement for any group before another change in seasons.”
