Affiliations
- Have overcome great physical limitations in which doctors did not think I would be able to operate in society without great help. I suffered a spinal cord injury, a traumatic brain injury, and a broken neck. This incident is the sole reason why I did not continue my career as a professional pilot, but instead worked in positions, such as line service technician, and other management type roles. At this moment, in time, I have recovered 99% of the way so it won’t even be a factor in the majority of all professional activities in careers.
