It started on day one, as a starry-eyed kid who was blessed to grow up in a mountainous playground – adventure always empowered my life. Decade after decade, the lessons of challenge and triumph the outdoors levied on me, shaped my understanding of life, and how to move through it. Having the driven courage to leave the comforts of home and answer the call of adventure has been a lifelong study in growth, massive action, and deep personal development. This committed act of sedentary defiance is the secret sauce I use each day to overcome the intensities of living with a spinal cord injury. Having said the above…LIVING ALL OUT in the fulfillment and actualization of my dreams is the life I choose!
Today’s youth are facing a new era of challenge where so many of their ‘opportunities of evolution’ are being muted behind the seemingly benign glow of a screen. The art of adventure is getting lost, the ‘life answers’ dangling from its branches, now silenced. I want to empower kids and adults alike, to discover the adventure-spirit within…and I want the lessons which follow to increase their mental health and overall happiness.
If I can empower others to hold a big vision for their life and the world…and I can remind the youth to solve life’s problems as they arise with the healing power of adventure, then I will have fulfilled my life’s purpose. If I can empower those with physical needs to further engage with their communities and surroundings, then I will have fulfilled my life’s mission. For these reasons and so many others, I believe the unlimited power of storytelling can positively impact everyone in the world. Here’s to the adventure ahead – the highs, the lows, and all the growth within!
