Stephen Fangio
Stephen was born William Stephen Fangio on February 23, 1958. He is
gifted with great athletic talent as evidenced by his ability to play
golf so well on only one leg. In his youth he was good at baseball, but
his passion was soccer. While he longed to play professionally, that
dream ended on November 6, 1980, at the young age of 22 when a tragic
car/motorcycle accident left him on crutches for the remainder of his
life. Stephen didn't let that accident stop him. He utilized humor to
deal with the loss. Stephen loves golf, teaches youth golf clinics,
does motivational speaking, sells his own instructional golf video and
line of putters, and has a reality TV show in the works. The TV show
will focus on the defiant power of the human spirit as Stephen and
other physically challenged individuals reveal how they face life every
day and overcome disabilities to accomplish great feats.
Stephen is a mechanical engineer and still works for his family company, he rebuilds his favorite car - Roadrunners, and even became a pilot after his accident.
