Creative Statement

I broke my neck in 1988 when I was in 8th grade at Springfield Middle School, in Springfield Oregon. It paralyzed me from the chest down and I use a chair. I graduated from Thurston High School in January 1993. I've never been married and have no children. I run several of my own businesses. Life is full of challenges for everyone, my challenge just appears to be physical. I will remain strong and carry on because there is nothing wrong with me.
