Tye Dutcher is a Rio 2016 Paralympic swimmer for Team USA that is training for the Tokyo 2021 Games, an amputee that lost his right foot in a traumatic accident at a young age, and a realistic motivational speaker. I am saved by my faith in Jesus Christ and desire to continually serve, encourage, and inspire others through my life. In short, if I can inspire at least one person, then I know I have achieved success.
