THRIVING WITH EVEN MORE TO GIVE.

Happy limb loss/limb difference awareness month! I’m so proud to be part of this resilient community. The day of my accident was the worst day of my life, but losing my leg was not the worst thing to happen to me. The worst thing is dealing with medical bills, a corrupt healthcare and health insurance system, and ignorance and discrimination against people with disabilities. That’s the worst.

I’m an actor and filmmaker, and my latest film for the Disability Film Challenge addresses some of these issues.
