"Somewhere inside, we hear a voice. It leads us in the direction we wish to become. But it is up to us whether or not to follow."
― Pat Tillman
A disciple of Christ, husband and father of six, a licensed clinical social worker, doctor of philosophy, Pat Tillman Scholar, President of Smile Inside, and a hand cycler living with ALS. I'm passionate about helping vulnerable populations. I enjoy researching and talking about posttraumatic growth and resilience. I work to accomplish things that seem impossible, especially amidst overwhelming odds.
