I will be speaking at a TEDx event hosted by Bellevue College on February 7. It will be held from 1-5pm at the Carlson Theatre on the main campus. You can get more information about the event at https://www.bellevuecollege.edu/tedx/. I am very excited to speak on the subject of choice, and the title of my talk is ‘I Choose You Choose.’ It will be live streamed as well as taped for future viewing.

life purpose
How do you find meaning and purpose in your life after traumatic injury that derails everything you have been building toward? My injury was a complete physical and emotional reset, like someone had pressed the ctrl-alt-del buttons on my life’s keyboard and everything was initialized. It was a complete start over. It was such an abrupt change. I’ve struggled with this question for nearly a decade, until I realized that I needed to do something bigger than myself, and refocus my energies on using my story to potentially help others who have suffered spinal cord injury, or more broadly anyone facing a life adversity. I know now what my life purpose is. It is not about me, it is about reaching others that might find benefit from my injury and recovery journey.
