Date of ALS diagnosis: September 2006

Life before ALS: I was active in owning and managing a building development and real estate company. Enjoyed field work as well as weekend build projects that got me out of the office. Also enjoyed lawn care and yard maintenance.

Life with ALS: Finding new ways to reinvent myself to carry on a maximum level of productivity in fulfilling the tasks I had before ALS. This has proven to be a moving target as my condition changes.

How has ALS brought new significance to your life: I have always held the opinion that life is lived between ones’ ‘ears.’ Nothing has both challenged and proven this belief more acutely than ALS. One’s mind is the wellspring of all action in every aspect of life.
