Bio 

I’m a 32 year old veteran. I live just outside of Philadelphia. I am 100% disabled through the VA. I volunteer at the Philadelphia VA medical center in University City. I participate in equestrian therapy on a farm that works with vets and horses. I try to get active and involved in as many Veteran programs as I can. A few such programs are Outward Bound and the Marine Corps League unit 1230.
