Growing up, I was athletic, in great shape. I played baseball and touch football with my friends, and every summer we went to Candlewood Lake. We swam and jumped into the lake from high rocks. I learned to conquer my fear.
I was wounded, but not by a gun. In 2014, I developed a rare lung condition that attacked my vital organs and left me paralyzed.
People here at the hospital try to amp you up. They say you can do anything. And that’s how I feel after I fell in love with motion graphics and making films. I study hard. I can’t remember your phone number, but I remember how to put a 3D camera into Z space. The body gets older, but we still have that little kid in us. Here in OPEN DOORS, I’m pretty much excited about stuff all the time. That’s the way to be: learning and pushing ahead.
