Founder, CEO, President, and Inspirational Speaker
Tony Lopez is the Founder, CEO, President, and Inspirational Speaker for Know Obstacles. At the age of 4, Tony lost all his faculties such as walking, talking, and all muscle function. After years of hard work, Tony has become a highly functional individual who just happens to have a disability. After graduating high school and studying communications in college, Tony worked with The March of Dimes teen youth group where he helped raise money to help in the fight to prevent birth defects. Tony realized over time how difficult it was to fit into everyone else’s so-called normal life. As the founder of Know Obstacles, he helps disabled persons and veterans overcome depression, bullying, and other obstacles in their lives.
