"Vision in Motion: Growing Through Sport & Leading Through Purpose"

August 25, 2025

I’m excited to share a deeply meaningful conversation featured on AwareNow Media's "Vision in Motion", where I sit down with Allié McGuire to reflect on how sport became more than just competition, it became connection, purpose, and legacy. In the interview, I talk about that early moment in high school when a teacher of the visually impaired recognized my jumping talent and introduced me to the Paralympic long jump. That spark planted a vision that has driven me ever since. And then there’s play.  As a father watching my son run, jump, and explore, I'm reminded that sport transcends boundaries. Play doesn’t care about color, gender, or ability. It simply brings us together in the joy of being human. This feature is close to my heart because it’s about more than my story, it’s about what sport can cultivate in all of us: courage, empathy, and the power to lift others.
