Romero lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident when he was a high school senior. A determined athlete, Romero taught himself how to waterski on one leg and eventually found himself on the ski slopes. He was a member of the Disabled Ski/Race Team at Winter Park, Colo., and also competed with the US Disabled Ski Team. After retiring from the teams, Romero dedicated his time to sharing the experiences of adaptive athletes as a speaker, writer and film producer through his organizations Adaptation Education and One Track Productions.
