Jeff Glasbrenner

Jeff Glasbrenner is no stranger to adversity. After a tragic farming accident when he was eight, he lost his right leg below the knee. Through many trials, he has learned to attack with laser focus any struggle he encounters. 

A college wheelchair basketball national champion, Glasbrenner set a scoring record with 63 points and 27 rebounds in one game. He also played professionally in Europe for three years and is a three-time paralympian and a two-time world champion. 

Having completed 25 Ironman triathlons, Glassbrenner’s next challenge is the Explorer’s Grand Slam — reaching the North and South Poles and the highest peaks on all seven continents.

His most important role is as a dedicated stay-at-home dad to his daughter, Grace, and son, Gavin. His wife, Elizabeth, runs a technology company in Little Rock, Arkansas.
