A man who has overcome difficulties most of us can hardly imagine inspired people at the annual B-D-O Canada farm seminar in Walkerton.
Chris Koch was the keynote speaker.
The 35 year old Koch was born without arms and legs.
When he's not working on the family farm near Calgary, he tours as a motivational speaker.
He titles his talk, 'If I Can,' meaning if he can do the things he does, anybody can do anything.
"If a guy without arms and legs can go surfing, go snowboarding, run farm equipment, travel the world or even just live a happy independent life, what's stopping anybody from doing anything the've ever dreamt or aspired to so."
Koch credits his mother, father and brother along with his entire community with making it possible for him to live a happy and productive life.
