| Todd I've been a part of the disability sector for nearly 15 years now, grew up in a household where my father received daily support for his muscular dystrophy. I have spent my entire life surrounded by all things disability-related, and I still love it every day! I was drawn to this industry through the work my Dad did with his community, organizing fishing days and events for people with disabilities and their families. I consider him to be my biggest inspiration and have instilled a passion inside me for those I work with. Outside of disability, I'm a massive nerd for gaming, art, and alternative culture. I like to think I bring an interesting twist of creative and positive energy to those I'm lucky enough to support. |
