IMPAIRMENT ORIGIN, INTEREST IN WHEELCHAIR RUGBY
He is paralysed from the waist down as a result of a car accident in 1996. He was inspired to try wheelchair rugby after he saw the sport on television during the last week of his rehabilitation programme. Advice from a coach during his first training session convinced him to pursue the sport. "People have made a life out of rugby, played for their country and done some amazing things. That stuck with me. I wanted to be healthy and live the active life I want." (teamusa.org, 01 Jan 2016; lakeshore.org, 01 Jan 2016)
