City/State: From California

Brain Injury: While a junior in college, I was a passenger in a bad car wreck.  I do not remember the accident… just lots of rehab.  Living life with short term memory causes anxiety, depression, and frustration for myself.  I try to keep my mouth shut although it angers me hearing people gossip, feeling it serves no positive purpose.

Explanation of Mask: My brain injury is an invisible handicap.  I look perfectly normal and feel misunderstood by others.  The eyes with lightning reflect the seizure activity and life divided before and after brain injury.  I describe myself as determined, all-inclusive and resolved.  God is radically important in my life.  My words to describe my faith would fail me.  I reside at Hosanna.  I enjoy mountain biking, reading research, movies alone, lifting weights and spending time with family.
