I draw on the personal challenges I have faced in overcoming and thriving in the face of the perceived obstacles of a spinal cord injury.
I challenge people to think outside the box, to face challenges and adapt by realizing you have the power to decide how you respond to life circumstances, by implementing simple strategies to triumph over adversity.
I demonstrate how focusing only on impressing yourself can lead you to new heights and is the process by which we can become our own heroes.
