RJ Schuhmeier was born on January 13, 1989, in Rancho Cordova, California. RJ was born with complications in his birth. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck three times, resulting in him being diagnosed with Mild Spastic Cerebral Palsy, which has affected the right side of his body. Not held down by this diagnosis, RJ had always been able to accomplish tasks that people said he could not do. When RJ was five years old, his parents took him to a physical therapy class where they told them there was nothing, they could do to help him except teach him how to "maybe" tie his shoes. This motivated RJ at a young age. When his parents took him home, RJ went directly to his room, and after several hours, he learned to tie his own shoe. This determination had driven RJ all his life. He takes the limits off what people said, and although sometimes he might need help, he could accomplish anything! RJ is a 33-year -old author who bases his books on his personal life experiences. Growing up, RJ's parents taught him to never give up and to always reach for the stars. RJ would like to thank his parents, Rich & and Tanya, brothers, DeAngelo & David, and sisters, Phoenisha & Evangelic for always being a support to him, pushing him and believing that he could do anything!
