About:
How you got into the sport: I participated in a disabled sports event, “Summer Fest”, and fell in love with outrigger canoeing.
Role Model: Dick Butkus, Linebacker [Chicago Bear Great]
I am a U.S. Army Veteran that lost a left leg while in service. I am a husband and a father of 3; Krystal, Kasey, and Chase. Paddling has been my way of life for more than a decade. It is my passion and vocation. I have been very fortunate to be able to give back to my community, by speaking to transitional soldiers, foster children and as a peer counselor to fellow amputees. I would not be where I am today without the love and encouragement of my family and the unfailing support of PossAbilities.
