About me: Being a lifelong athlete, I have accumulated numerous brain injuries. My "coup de grâce" moment occurred in October of 2014 while out on a training ride. This one changed my life. In the course of my recovery process, an article on LoveYourBrain appeared one morning in my news feed. It wasn't long after that I attended a LoveYourBrain retreat in Empire, Colorado. It was then that I discovered my community and I was no longer alone!

Why LYB: Throughout my life I have tried to live by the words "pay it forward" as I'm not sure you can ever quite pay it back. I view my volunteerism with LoveYourBrain as paying it forward to my community that I so honor and connect to. It takes amazing people as well as monetary resources to provide the support and services of LoveYourBrain, and I try to contribute to both aspects. It is so meaningful to me to have the opportunity to interact and support those in our brain injury community to help them know that they are truly not alone. Without "paying it forward" in all aspects, we cannot sustain the amazing gifts that LoveYourBrain provides.

Superhero: My mom and my wife for always sticking by my side no matter what.
