About This Year's Speaker
George Dennehy is capturing attention all over the world for his unique talents. He was born without arms – yet is living a life filled with purpose as he seemingly does the impossible on a daily basis.
George has a very powerful message to share. Because he has overcome so many challenges in his own life, he believes that every individual has a divine purpose and absolutely anything is possible. People are surprised by his life story, including his brush with death in a Romanian orphanage, and his adoption by his U.S. family at the age of one. George started a musical journey by learning to play the cello at the age of eight. He advanced in classical music until he was able to play cello with regional orchestras.
