Seated, but not defeated.
On March 6, 2013, on the last day of a vacation in Hawaii, an accident at the beach left me with a complete C5/6 spinal cord injury. In a moment, almost everything about daily life changed, from how I eat and drink to how I drive and get in and out of a car.
Not long after, I started this blog to share the journey. I named it Broken4Purpose because I was learning that I’m part of a larger story being told by God, and that brokenness can be the very place purpose begins.
More than a decade later, the injury has taken a lot from me, and it has given a lot back. Through faith, family, friends, and adaptive sport, I keep choosing to move forward.
What I care about
Love, authenticity, and integrity. I try to write honestly about the hard parts and the good parts.
FindingHUP
FindingHUP grew out of this story: HEAL → UNCOVER → PURSUE, a faith-centered path for anyone walking through transition, and the framework behind my coaching and speaking.
