His opportunity in life came at eight years old, on the day he was involved in a traumatic farming accident that left him a below-the-knee amputee.

He has traveled to dozens of different countries, has met amazing people, and has risen to a world-class level in sports. In wheelchair basketball, he holds a National Championship scoring record of sixty-three points and twenty-seven rebounds in one game, and played in Europe professionally for three years.
