Ryan William Hudson-Peralta a/k/a Hudson-Peralta (born September 28, 1979 in Detroit, MI) is an American born web & graphic designer, motivational speaker and aspiring actor who was born with a disability Congenital Limb Deficiency, a condition that left him unable to walk, with arms that extend just past his shoulders, no hands or fingers, and stunted legs and feet. Early life When Ryan was born doctors didn’t know much about his rare birth defect that affects a small amount of newborns each year. After many tests and reviews of his birth the doctors stated that the birth defect was due to natural causes. Without much knowledge of his disability doctors grimly cautioned his parents that he would never be able to attend a regular school, raise a family, hold a normal job, or even drive a car. At the age of 9 months, Ryan was one of the youngest children at the time to be fitted for prosthetic arms. At the age of 3 years old, he was one of the youngest children to use an electric wheelchair, that was custom built with an elevator-type seat for easy transfer in-and-out of the wheelchair. The wheelchair was built by engineering students at the University Of Michigan Presently Ryan has tenaciously refused to let physical limitations define who he is or determine the course of his life. He has done everything those doctors said he wouldn't and more. He currently has a full-time job working as a web & graphic designer.
