After flipping multiple times across the highway left him paralyzed below the neck, Ryan Atkins began sharing hope and inspiration with the growing community on his blog “Flat on My Back”. He has made it his mission to learn what it means to live with purpose no matter the circumstances. Ryan is an avid reader, college basketball junkie, and lover of all spicy foods. He first had his eye on his wife Stephanie in their second-grade classroom. They reconnected 13 years later following Ryan’s accident and married in 2016. They reside in Cincinnati, Ohio.
