Everything changed in the blink of an eye
My life took a dramatic turn on November 23, 2015. A day at the pool with my family in Mexico ended with a life changing incident that would dictate how I would live the rest of my life. As we enjoyed our time in the sun, a trip down a water slide ended in catastrophe when I hit my head on the bottom of the pool. The resulting injury - a crushed C4, 5 and 6 vertebrae - left me a quadriplegic.
