In 1976 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Aimee was born without fibulae in both legs. To give her an outside chance of independent mobility, doctors amputated her legs below the knee when she was just a year old. By age two, she had learned to walk on prosthetic legs and led an active childhood.

She graduated from Parkland High School, Allentown and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. While attending Georgetown University, not only did she gain a full academic scholarship from the Department of Defense, but she was the first athlete with a disability to compete against able-bodied athletes in NCAA Division 1 track and field events.

Outfitted with woven carbon-fiber prostheses that were modeled after the hind legs of a cheetah, she went on to represent the U.S. in the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta. There she broke Paralympic records in the 100 meters sprint and the long-jump. Her personal bests are 15.77 seconds for the 100 meters, 34.60 seconds for the 200 meters, and 3.5 meters for the long-jump.

After a spread in Life magazine, the world took notice. Soon Aimee had a 10-page feature in Sports Illustrated for Women and began to appear on magazine covers for iD, and Dazed and Confused. She was also named as one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World.

Aimee is also an accomplished actor with film roles in World Trade Center, Cremaster 3, and her latest movie Quid Pro Quo.

Aimee serves on numerous boards and assists various non-profit organizations. She’s the Vice-President for Just One Break, the non-profit employment service for persons with disabilities, and is currently President of the Women's Sports Foundation.

Her list of achievements is endless, and it really is impossible to keep up with her, so please look her up on the Internet for an update.

She currently resides in New York City.
