Matt
Feeney - Co-Founder/ Program Director
Matt
Feeney was an avid mountain biker and skier when a cliff diving
accident at Lake Powell in 1988 left him paralyzed from the
waist down. In 1991, Feeney left the financial industry in Denver
and moved to Winter Park to pursue adaptive ski racing and become
more involved in outdoor recreation. After training and competing with the
Winter Park Disabled Ski Team, Feeney joined forces with Home Health
Care giant, Sunrise Medical, as a team member and national spokesperson.
In
1993, Feeney was hired by The National Sports Center for the
Disabled to coordinate the Sit-Ski Program, which, under Matt's
direction, grew to over 300 volunteers and became responsible
for thousands of ski lessons annually. Matt is a two-time
U.S. off-road champion and an accomplished handcyclist and
ski instructor. Feeney brings his extensive knowledge in adaptive
sports and recreation to the Adaptive Adventures team, and
enhances the lives of others who face similar challenges.
