About
I was in a severe life threatening car wreck in 2000. I had a 3% chance to live, I had to learn how to walk, talk, read, write, everything from birth. I graduated High School with a Brain Injury. Everyday tasks are a challenge for me, but with a positive outlook I seem to get it done. I feel that having a disability has given me more of a challenge in my school career, but also it will make my rewards that much bigger because of everything I had to overcome.

- Outside the classroom
I like to fish and hunt pretty much anything out doors I like to do. I go around the state of Montana talking for the Community Bridges Heads Up Program, and out of Great Falls Benefits Think First.
