My Why
I have a positive and inspiring story
From a Croatian orphanage to the world stage, my unique outlook and determination serve as a model: we are all more than any one of our characteristics, including our disabilities, sexual orientation, or racial background.
Experience with diversity and inclusion
As an openly gay, congenital quad amputee man who has been adopted from another country, I have had a lifetime of experience finding my way through diversity. My story serves as a model to others; finding your own voice and self worth through overcoming obstacles, discrimination, and challenges.
Motivation for athletes and performers
With first-hand experience as a Paralympic level athlete residing at the Olympic Paralympic Training Center, I can connect to and motivate teams on performing, training, mentality, and discipline to succeed.

Queer'd Up
Curiosity is a core value for me. And it often leads me to think about other people's perspectives. What are the lenses that they look through? How do they view the world? Is that the same as me? Could I maybe learn something new from them. Based on their viewpoints, the journeys and experiences that they've gone through in their life.
