As a professional motocross athlete, Aaron Baker sustained a career ending spinal cord injury in 1999. He fractured cervical vertebrae 4,5,6 rendering him a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chin down. Baker was given a one in a million chance of ever feeding himself again. Instead, he challenged that prognosis and went on to cycle across the country, twice, and walk across Death Valley for the award winning documentary film, “Coming To My Senses”.

From the onset of his injury, the focus was on rebuilding and redefining life. Baker became a student of the mind and body, and mastered a set of fundamental tools he chronicles in his Amazon best-selling memoir, “The Rebellious Recovery: Transform Your Adversity Into Adventure”.

Today, Aaron Baker is a recovering quadriplegic husband, father, adventure athlete, author, and keynote speaker. He co-founded the Center Of Restorative Exercise and represents Red Bull’s non-profit charity – Wings For Life Foundation as a member of the Board Of Directors, USA and Chairman of the Ambassador Council.

Most recently, he and his wife, Katelyn, started Los Angeles based non-profit, Adversity Into Adventure Foundation. “We enhance rehabilitation, recreation and neurological research by funding high impact organizations for disability.”

In June of 2024, they set off on a World Tour, covering 5 continents. The first route is in the United States as they pedal with a purpose across Route 66, and on to the East Coast.
