Glenn McIntyre

At 23 years of age, Glenn was typical young guy—college graduate, married, and a newly sworn-in police officer. He had everything including a beautiful motorcycle on which he had toured the continental United State and Alaska. Then the unthinkable happened: a drunk driver smashed Glenn’s life, instantly disintegrating his body. His back broke in 17 places, he suffered a broken knee, hip, six ribs and received internal injuries. Glenn spent 17 hours in surgery, 8 months in the hospital, and a five hundred thousand dollars in medical bills. What he wasn’t prepared for was the life of pain, gains and setbacks that he was about to endure. Through years of rehabilitation and positive thinking, he has become a survivor and his presentation; “Live Your Dream” inspires others to meet their goals.

Glenn, together with his Service Dog Boylan, continues their police duties, but in a different capacity. Now, twenty years later, he is readying for retirement but his stories are numerous. He shares his experiences in his uniquely powerful speech. He combines his life skills with the practical knowledge of stress reduction, risk management, return to work policies,  and customer service. His presentations have been labeled as humorous, entertaining, inspiring, and motivational.  

Glenn has produced AWARD WINNING PROGRAMS and has helped pass several state laws. He welcomes the competition of wheelchair tennis as he risen to be one of the top players in the country.  His list of accomplishments goes on but the one in which he is most proud is the birth of his twin daughters. In 1996 Glenn and his wife defied the odds once more by being the first complete-injury paraplegic to successfully conceive children.  You may have seen him tell his story on “The Leeza Show” or any of their other TV appearances.
