About Me
I love to work with wood and after my diagnosis, I attended a school for a Master Woodworker Degree. I hope to start my own school to pass along the trade. I have been married for 23 yrs to a wonderful woman and we have two children in college. I lost my legs about a year ago but have a "Quickie" wheelchair now and I dream of competing in the parapalegic Olympics. I face the challenges of MS head-on each day and consider it more of a blessing than a hardship. After so many years with this disease, the values in life that I once thought were important are not. I live on Faith and Hope. And Win.
