is, perhaps the best way to describe him is as a true iconoclast. Being born a congenital amputee, he is unique in the pantheon of sports having been the only athlete without legs to play both college football and minor league baseball. His continued tenacity pushed him in the direction of tryouts with various professional clubs including the Cincinnati Reds, the Minnesota Twins, and the Dallas Cowboys.
As his sports journey continued, he quickly pivoted from athlete to journalist. Stevens worked at ESPN for over 20 years serving as a coverage editor and an assignment desk manager where he covered numerous Super Bowls, World Series, and NCAA Final Fours among other various sporting events giving him tremendous gravitas having earned 7 National Sports Emmy’s.
When speaking with Stevens one gets the sense of the true authenticity that this man espouses. He understands that he holds a certain amount of responsibility to set an example for not only the broader disability community but to society at large. He believes that part of his mission is to “break the stereotypes of what it means to be handicapped or disabled.
Mr. Stevens's worldview is indicative of the changing nature of disability itself. It is through his own life experience that he not only challenges the stigma of disability but redefines it completely. He offers corporate leadership a very real glimpse into defining what can be, rather than what is.
During this time of National Disability Employment Awareness Month , it is this type of innovative spirit that is needed more than ever to help galvanize organizations to rethink their overall business strategy and embrace it with the hustle and moxie that is such a part of Dave Steven’s character. We need people like him to be a key stakeholder at the table and provide corporations a new way to think about disability, employment, and the business culture of the 21st Century.
