After I put it on for the first time, I looked in the mirror. My wife was standing near me and I remember saying, 'I'm whole again.'

I get to go at a speed and a pace that doesn’t matter if I have legs or if I’m able-bodied.

Track and Field

Being born with limb difference doesn’t define me. It’s simply a small part of me, and it won’t hold me back unless I let it.

Would I have gone surfing that morning knowing very well moments after jumping in the ocean I would become limbless? Absolutely. A violent encounter with a shark amputated my leg in seconds, and nearly killed me. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Life’s uncanny like that.
