Carey is dedicated to helping others and works with multiple charity teams to compete and speak at events around the country on adaptive athletics and Veteran's affairs.

Carey's lessons in mindset and general outlook on life are a true inspiration to all. Through his actions and continued pursuit of success, we are reminded that we have the uncanny ability to adapt and overcome circumstance so long as we are willing to learn, work, and not allow initial failure to prevent us from achieving our goals.
