I've had the privilege to play many cards in this deck of life. Both great and horrendous experiences have taught me that life is beautiful, and worth living. From losing my father at a young age, to almost losing my life in a combat zone. I learned fast and hard that life will beat you down if you let it. Finding passion for life again is only half the battle, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT THERE and see for yourself. Since my injuries in Afghanistan that left me scarred and without a leg and only stories left of my comrades lost, I have found that passion. From sleeping five days on the side of a vertical cliff on El Capitan's Nose route in Yosemite's National park, and mentoring other adaptive climbers alike, to racing the desert confines over a week for the Baja 1000 with my mentors. The story you will hear is not of many, but it is one of success. For I am still here, still thriving and living, but most importantly still here and able to give back. Cheers to the good fight
