Let's get this done with a few questions: 1) What am I most passionate about? Speaking, literally! Perhaps it's my sizable ego or erupting passion that makes me such an outspoken fella. I love sharing ideas and listening to them especially about us, humans. I want to help people all around the world to be able to present themselves and their unique personalities and ideas with confidence. There are thousands, if not millions, of ideas that get forgotten about because we think no one would listen and I wanna help those people get the courage to be themselves and represent who they are. It's a really special skill and ability to do that! 2) What made me become a speaker? I was running away from an engineering lecture! Seriously, true story! Although I am a trained engineer, talking to humans has always excited me more than talking to machines. With the growing influence of technology and digital-interaction, I feel that the small and subtle interpersonal skills are fading away. BUT THEY SHOULDN'T! It's those subtle things that make us human and I want to help preserve these valuable attributes of the human race but before that, I had to master them myself. So I started a never-ending voyage of self-development tirelessly to not only grow myself but also help others do the same! 3) What kind of topics do I like to talk about? Anything! I think the better questions is why do I wanna talk. I wanna speak to millions and millions of people to help them find their inner self. Not the spiritual kind...their true potential. We are all talented and it's only a matter of circumstances if we can unleash the talent and potential. There are billions of people in the world who haven't and I hope that I can reach out to them so any topics that allow me to do this...I'm interested! 4) What is my pro speaking experience? Not the whole point but a small part of it. At 25, I've spoken to tens of thousands at more than 500 events in lots of different countries in Europe and Southeast Asia. As a speaker I can host your organisation's conference, dinner or award ceremony. Looking for a host for a music festival? Got experience there too! And of course seminars and conferences such as TED/TEDx are where I can share lots of ideas with people and pursue my dream of helping people globally. 5) What are my hobbies? Music...I used to be a rapper! Reading...I'm currently writing a book too! YouTube...Weekly public speaking videos and I work with a studio as a producer Drinking...Yes...A lot maybe! Do you have any questions? I'm just an email away!

Hope Bevilhymer lives up to her name. She provides hope to those who have experienced limb loss. Hope had her right leg amputated below the knee, at the age of 25. Despite her own experience with limb loss, she advocates for those who have experienced amputation throughout the globe. Hope Bevilhymer was born on a snowy night in December, 1976. She was born with bi-lateral clubfeet. The right foot was turned in and upside down. The doctors started stretching her foot at the age of 2 weeks old, followed by weekly castings. Her first surgery was at the age of 3 months. She continued with over 20 surgeries, stretching, casting, braces, gangrene, pain management, etc. At the age of 18, Hope had a leg lengthening procedure, called Ilizarov. This included metal rods through her bones, in which she turned daily, over a 2 year period of time, which lengthened her leg 2 ½ inches. The pain in her leg continued, despite all of the doctor’s knowledge, and all other options. In June 2002, Hope had her 30th surgery, to amputate her leg below the knee. Amputation sparked a drive in Hope. She watched a documentary on landmine victims, and saw the “need” of people in developing countries. Hope founded The Limbs of Hope Foundation, in October 2003. The organization was started to collect prosthetics in the United States, and ship or deliver them to developing countries. Through her experience of amputation, she realized that people were just discarding the prosthetics, due to product liability laws, while developing countries could use the components. In October of 2004, Bevilhymer and two companions delivered the first 55 prosthetics in the Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh. In October 2006, Hope traveled back to Cambodia where her organization delivered more prosthetics and replaced a basketball court for individuals in Cambodia, who have experienced limb loss. In June 2007, Hope traveled to a Romanian orphanage where she donated prosthetics and brought sporting equipment for the kids. Hope is an athlete she tried out for the USA Womens Para Ice Hockey Team in 2016 and made the roster. She is the goalie for the team and in 2018 her and her team won the gold medal in the World Cup Womens Para Ice Hockey Team.
