Daniel Ritchie was born without arms but God is being glorified in Daniel’s difference and has given him a thriving life. He has adapted to a world made for people with arms by using his feet to do everything others do with their hands. From writing, eating and driving all the way to hunting and fishing - “I can’t” is not in his vocabulary. 

With 23 years of professional speaking experience and as he speaks to more than 200,000 people every year, he shares a message of hope and strength that can come even in the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Daniel connects to audiences in a powerfully motivational, yet down to earth way of communicating. He has spoken for churches, public and private schools, conferences, universities, corporations and professional sports teams.

He has authored two books, My Affliction For His Glory and Endure and his writing has been featured by Fox News, The Gospel Coalition, Focus on the Family, Desiring God, and Church Leaders among others. He has appeared on national television programs like The Story with Martha MacCallum, The 700 Club and The Encouraging Word.

He is a husband to Heather and Daddy to two amazing kids. He loves family pizza night, traveling, being outdoors, football and the beach.
