Stances, Step- Slide Forward, Staff be pushed-pulled, 3 person assist-floor, walking with Accompany, 1Arm support, 1 person side B-hug, 2 person side B-hug, 2 Arm support. I am very good with the Psychological aspect of Human Interaction, and Human Understanding with Differences Between the Sexes, and How We Interact with each other, as this was some of the courses that I studied at FSU, and had as on the job training with Hope Network. Charity Work: Me as well as my Wife helped to raise $20,000 for St. Baldrick’s Foundation and Caps for Clayton, where I shaved my head for our friend’s son Clayton, who has beaten cancer 2 times at the age of 7. This was the 2nd year that I have done this, the 1st year we raised a little over $15,900 for the event. I coached Pre- T-Ball for 3-4 year olds and taught them how to play the game. I have also been a Soccer Coach for the past 5 years. Ferris State University has a trophy named after me, for the Big Rapids Men’s Adult Hockey League Named Lord Beck’s Cup. I made a Semi-Pro football team, through a program at Hope Network, where a consumer’s dream was to tryout for a Semi Pro Football team, through a lot of long hours and dedication to my job, I made that happen for my client, as long as I tried out with him. So I did and we both ended up making the team. I was a Quarterback/Wide Receiver for the Grand Rapids Thunder. There were articles on the both of us in the News Paper all over, from Big Rapids to Grand Rapids.
