My life and the life of my family changed forever.

Stroke shattered our world.

Now, through my experience, I want to inspire those who still struggle with the effects of stroke.

Now, through my experience, I want to educate those who think stroke can't happen to them.

Now, through my experience, I want everyone to understand that knowing the signs of stroke can save your life — or the life of someone you love.

A terrorist bombing, a late night tattoo in a Bangkok hotel room, Muay Thai fights by the hundreds, great times & lifelong memories.

7 years ago at the IFMA world championships.
