Jason Koger
Jason Koger became the first bilateral arm amputee in the world to be fitted with multi-articulating bionic hands after losing both hands in a traumatic ATV accident in 2008. Today, he encourages others to live a life without limitations. Jason has an incredible story of overcoming a hard situation and taking that opportunity to make the most of each day he is alive.
When Jason is not at home helping his wife, Jenny, with their three children, Billie Grace, Cambell, and Axell, he is traveling the country sharing his story of overcoming obstacles or working as an ambassador for the manufacturer of his hands, Ossur, and his socket manufacturer, Arm Dynamics. Known around the globe as one of the top prosthetics users, Jason brings hope through perseverance while being a peer support volunteer for Vanderbilt Hospital.
With a positive attitude and welcoming personality, Jason has had the opportunity to appear on several national news outlets, which led to many other TV appearances, magazine articles, and the TedX stage. Jason has reached goals that have never been reached before, including becoming the first bilateral arm amputee to harvest a bear with a crossbow.
Jason also started a charity event, Handing Back, that brought celebrities to his hometown of Owensboro, Kentucky, raising over $30,000 to give back to a community that gave so much to him in his time of need. He recently released his first book, Handed a Greater Purpose, and Jason has received the American Red Cross hero of the year and role model of the year awards.
Nobody knows what is next for Jason, but whatever doors open he will give the glory to God and grab every opportunity with both bionic hands.
Team Never Quit is honored to walk and work with such an incredible man!
