A fire dramatically changed the trajectory of my life, but would not define it.At just 13-years-old, I was burned over 90% of my body with third degree burns and given less than a 1% chance of survival after a backyard explosion. After three months in a medically-induced coma, nearly two years of painful rehabilitation, and more than one hundred surgeries over a decade, I emerged triumphantly … not only to walk again, but to live my best life. I went on to play high school and Division I collegiate lacrosse, and embarked on a career in coaching and managing an elite university lacrosse program. Through it all, I carved out a life-long mantra of mental resilience and toughness forged from years of dealing with the long journey back from the lowest possible points of just surviving … to thriving. Today, I sees my scars as symbols of survival, rather than wounds of a victim. My compelling message of courage and strength resonates with audiences long after an event is over with. With brutal honesty and humility, I capture the hearts and minds of audiences, demonstrating how to move forward with grace, gratitude and gut determination in the face of adversity. My goal is to inspire audiences to gain perspective and take action in their personal journey to attack life by just being authentic and honest about life and my experiences. Now, I travel the globe sharing a both powerful and inspirational message with companies and organizations large and small across a wide variety of industries.This mentality has helped me and so many others not only deal with life's great adversity but overcome it to achieve more with the tools we already have within us.
