Synopsis

Jen Bricker is an acrobat and aerialist, a TV personality and speaker. But most of all she is one of the most down to earth people you will ever meet. I was introduced to Jen by my previous guest Mike Chat and I had the opportunity to sit down with her and talk about her incredible story. Jen was born without legs and put up for adoption. She was then raised in a small town in Illinois and  grew up participating in all kinds of sports, from tumbling to softball, all the while surrounded by the love and support of her adoptive family. In a crazy twist of fate, at the age of 16, she discovered that he biological sister was  Dominique Moceanu, the Olympic gymnast who was one of her idols growing up. This unlikely story has been featured on 20/20 and in Dominique’s book Off Balance. After graduating high school she moved to Florida to work at Walt Disney World. While in Florida she met Nate Crawford, and began to perform as an aerialist. A year later she was a featured acrobat on the Britney Spears Circus Tour. S
