City/State: Chattanooga

Brain Injury: I have had more than one traumatic brain injury.  My first one was at Burger King when I had a major meltdown at work.  I hit my head on a metal slab.  Later, I was involved in a car accident.

Explanation of Mask: My favorite color is red as painted on my mask.  The black indicates the darkness and confusion I have experienced so many years from my accident.  I have struggled for a long time not being able to get to the right specialist to help me get better or understand my disability.  I have always loved riding a bike, going camping, racing and especially going to church.  Now, I have a very difficult time going in public due to the noise, lights and movement going on around me.  It is hard for me to do what I want to do.  Others do not understand what it is like to be in my shoes.
