I was born with trevor's disease, a congenital disorder in the growth plates in my left knee and left ankle. I decided to have my leg amputated at age 17 above the knee. Finding climbing afterwards was really liberating, and helped me find my sense of self again. I have been climbing for 10 years, and in 2014 placed second at the IFSC World Paraclimbing Championships in Gijon, Spain. The next year, I became the first above the knee amputee to climb V10. Climbing has been such a positive influence in my life, that I have always wanted to share that experience with other people with disabilities. Getting people to break down the boundaries that exist in their mind is the most satisfying part!
