“Disable Doesn’t Mean Unable”
“Every time I look in the mirror I see the product & image of the foundation my family & friends has laid for me on Who I’am, Not What I’am”


At A Glance
I was born with Spinal Bifida, and I started playing wheelchair sports at age 9. I have been on National & International teams both as a junior and adult in the sports of; Tennis, Table Tennis and Wheelchair Basketball. I have had the opportunity to do sporting exhibitions & motivational talks around the Country to promote “Living a Productive Healthy Lifestyle” for the advancement of the disabled, in which I use Sport as that linking bridge. I owe much of my success to my Parents & the strong support that they have given me!
