His autobiography Against Tall Odds and book Little Family, Big Values includes touching stories about his undying determination and zest for life, as well as his path to success and overcoming the challenges imposed on him by diastrophic dysplasia, a rare form of dwarfism.
Roloff has travelled to different places and shared his experiences. His speaking engagements have ranged from Tyson Foods and Wal-Mart to Indiana University and the South Dakota Governor’s Conference. It is not just his inspirational entrepreneurial and personal success stories that make him an instant favorite among his audience, but his humor and anecdotes which resonate deeply with individuals of all ages and background. His motivational stories and advice have helped people step out of their routine schedules, think carefully about their lives, and craft ways for positive changes and to achieve their dreams.
