Kris Hammons's Linkedin Analytics

👋 Hi, my name is Kris. I am 4’5’’ tall, and was born with dwarfism. Doctors told my parents I would never make it. After I survived, doctors then told my mom to place me into an institution because I’d never walk, talk, or live a “normal” life. As you are figuring out, it didn’t turn out that way. “Challenge accepted” has been my mantra. So has a faith in God and His ability to help me through anything. That has led me to … → Recovering from 20+ surgeries all under the age of 20 → Graduating high school in 2001 → Going to college → Teaching myself how to design, code and media production → Starting multiple small businesses → Building a career in tech as a developer and now a product manager → Getting married → Having 4 kids, 2 with dwarfism Maybe the doctors were right about one thing, after all. My life is far from “normal”. And I am 💯 percent here for it. You might say I have quite the story. So do you. That’s why earlier this year I decided to start sharing my story via #linkedin, one-on-one conversations, and public speaking. Not for my own gain, but to inspire you to face and share your own stories. Because that’s the first step to building self-confidence and the life you want. If you like what you’re reading, be sure to follow and even drop me a DM. Hope this encourages you to push through whatever you are facing right now.
