I have lived on disability for decades and I know the struggles of overcoming a disability. I have years of experience dealing with the highs and lows, and pros & cons of disability support services.
I want to pay it forward so that others like me can have an ally who knows what its like to struggle with trauma or a disorder that impacts your way through life. If you're trying to overcome, or know someone with a disability who is, let's talk!
I failed for years to sustain lasting employment. I couldn't even get hired for years. I continued to work toward this dream of mine despite years of setbacks and failures. I learned so much along the way that people like me face, and have to overcome, I want to use that knowledge to help others make a difference in their own lives.
I starting working for cash in 2017 for a karaoke company, after a decade of being unemployed. In 2018 I got a chauffeurs license and a part time Job as a private Chauffeur for a business. In 2020 I got my Class A Commercial drivers license and a full time job driving a Tractor-trailer. Suffice it to saI know what it takes to face years of trauma, abuse, disabilities and disorders. It can be done
I've met with several groups including disability support services, med-waiver affiliates, and mental health services. I was a guest speaker at the Fort Wayne Disability expo of 2023.
