I am a motivational speaker for the last 22 years. I am an amateur writer and poet. I have been working on writing my own novel about my life. I got the inspiration after writing a paper in high schools with the topic of, "who are you and what have you done to get to where you are today?" My paper got such a positive response from my fellow classmates and teachers that everyone wanted to know more. They were so inspired that a lot of them changed their lives for the future. I go into great detail about: the person that I was before my accident and had to work very hard to become the man that I am proud of, things I had to do in order to survive, the extremely difficult decisions I needed to make and live with, things I decided to do in order to get back my respect and to educate people about consequences from our actions, the importance of family, friends and education, talk about the disabled, what it feels like to be treated differently, teach them about respect for yourself and others, show them that everyone is beautiful in their own way and that we can achieve anything that we desire and dreams about if only we're willing to fight for them! I truly enjoy helping others and performing my lectures to educate children and adults so that they have a very prosperous and happy life just by talking and writing simply one comes from my heart and soul! My greatest passion and dreams for the future is to perform my lectures across country and around the world hundreds of times a year in order to change our society so that we will talk, treat and look at people for the better! Soon enough. I will finish writing my book titled: "A New Beginning," in the hopes that people will use it as a guidebook for their futures! Please feel free to drop me a line with your questions and comments because I am extremely open and honest man. I've been asked everything from how I use the restroom to even my sex life without any hesitation or the thought of not answering people's questions.
