Hi. I was recently diagnosed with ALS. I am still working and trying to take each day as it comes. My favorite saying that helps me cope: "It is what it is." and "Hey someone else always has it worse". I am a senior designer in an engineering firm and maintain my own business designing homes. I have been married to my lovely wife, Lori, for 28 years. We have two children, Christina 20 and Frankie 18. "Pray to our Lord to give PALS and their families the strength/will to fight this disease.
