How has Special Olympics changed your life? Special Olympics has become a very important part of my life. The athletes have taught me so many lessons about courage, strength, perseverance and love. I have learned to take nothing for granted, find greatness in everything (even the light things), accept change and to be happy with who I am.

What does attending USA Games mean to you? I am so excited to have a chance to coach at the USA Games. Being with the athletes and coaches is something that means so much to me. I look forward to making new friends and seeing old friends that I have made over the years with being a coach. I look forward to seeing athletes accomplish their goals and have a chance of a lifetime to be able to be a part of the Games!
