Paraplegic for 27 years, living life, traveling, working, volunteering, and trying to be the best me!!
Created the channel in hopes of spreading motivation and awareness of sports, activities, accessible vacation spots, etc. for others in wheelchairs, other disabilities or to those in a position to help with disability awareness.
I enjoy traveling with my wife, playing basketball, hunting, fishing, snow skiing, and numerous other hobbies. It hasn't been easy, but it's definitely been worth the work.

You’re doing awesome, Dad! 🥰

Good boy
Aww he is adorable 🥰 both of my babies loved helping with laundry and dishes lol my 2 year old still does. The 5 yr old, not so much 😆
@@amandalee3492 Thank you. Yea, we'll see how long it lasts. Lol
Lol that little toddle as he inches closer to the washer to throw in his tops was adorable
@@Idontwant1 ❤️
Cuteness overload. Dear little soul ♥️♥️♥️
You are definately training him right, and he seems to love it!!😂❤ what a cutie-pie🎉
@@dreed1058 Thank you 😊
So inspiring
What a lil' cutie patootie❤❤
@@lisaromano5098 thank you!
OMG I love his walk. Great job Mom and Dad. And never too young to start teaching "clean".
@@user-qw1cp7yo4i thank you 😊
Beautiful family ❤
@cynthiafrawner1005 thank you 😊
Cute little boy. Maybe put a basket for his clothes somewhere, toddlers dont have the maturity to figure out how to get out of danger with washers and dryers.
@@alicejones3668 he has his own clothes basket. He wanted to put them in the washer.
I would be investing in a safety latch just to be 100% safe. Kids love to make fools out of you 😂 the second you’ve opened your mouth and said “my child won’t …. Or my child would “ boom they make a liar out of you. It also keeps the door from swinging hard enough to bounce back and smack your lil babe.
That's too 😍 cute 😂😂❤

@@serenelooms6608 thank you! ❤️
I'm so sorry people told you all thise thing's especially number #2 bro, people are so cruel and mean but don't you worry, they will get what's coming to them bud. God bless you 🙏 and keep living your life with your wife bud.
@Yoquez6572 it's astounding what people think is OK to ask or say. Just catches ya off guard and I just let it go. Thank you bro!
Them leg assists during transfers are clutch 😂
@codysmiff222 I wish. Instead, they're just in the way or almost getting broke. Lol
What a beautiful couple. ❤
@@hectorslovebug6429 thank you! ❤️
Awesome
@@janetfuentes4639 thank you!
I like things built accessibly for when I'm too stiff to stand for long. I'm extremely clumsy too so space for clearance is important and the step free aspect of entry prevents so many falls. 😍
That's so rude! The same exact thing happened to me yesterday at the gas station! I opened my van door and there was an enormous pile of spit! Disgusting!
Super nice setups
@codysmiff222 Thanks! We recently sold it and are definitely missing this kitchen!
Too heavy, too complicated, same pressure mapping elsewhere. 👍🏻♿️😎
@rackemwells I don't mind the roho hybrid. The vicair I've been trying, I'm sitting so much lower. I don't want one formed to me, and I definitely don't want gel. I've just stuck with the one I've been used to.
Step one, toss roho cushion 😂
@@codysmiff222 I did! Lol Switched to vicair but probably switching back. I sit so much lower.
@@WheelchairLiving1 man there's so many styles of cushions out there I don't understand how people never give up using a roho or the jay2 deep contour(most popular cushions I've seen issued after sci)
@@WheelchairLiving1 I use a ride designs my personal favorite but there's also stimulate honeycomb cushion that are great too
@codysmiff222 I need to try some more. The issue is that you can't really try them out enough to know, and once you have it, you're stuck for a while until insurance would cover another.
lol, I am so glad my Roho cushion is still under warranty.
You are gorgeous 😍
Keep on brotha!!

Driving deer is for lazy hunters who have no skills.
@meateater4life551 🤣Well, my dad and I would only join a group of guys for deer drives during late muzzleloader season. We still hunted the rest of the year.
Fuck yea
@@gargaflan 🙌
That baby gonna get whiplash 😂😂😂
@YeOldeGeezer 🤣 I try to ease into it and then give a good push, but it'll strengthen his neck muscles! 🤣🤷♂️
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm glad it may help others when planning theirs! Thanks for watching!
The most wonderful sound!
❤️
Hermosos pies
…and it makes you happy!!
Dude, that rocks. Think you may have some REDNECK DNA . just a thought. Carpe diem !!!! Tx vet
Not to mention how ahead of his peers he’s going to be in the understanding and compassionate department❤ Because he will understand that all people have things they have to overcome from watching his strong Papa do just that🎉
❤️Thank you 😊
Brother, you walk TALLER than alot of guys who have kids but are not FATHERS. BRAVO ZULU TX VET
Thank you! Appreciate it. I try.
🎉🎉 you are amazing
❤️
Does he even have his climbing shoes on? It seems dangerous
After seeing your video I will be going to St Luica, I now know how I'll be getting on/off the plane. Thank You!
Enjoy!! Do the helicopter transfer if possible. I have another video on that.
I miss them lap days with my son cherish them they go quick!!
I believe it! Already flying by!
This was very helpful - thank you so much for the video. I have a TiLite Aero Z: actually I have two of them. I took One to the beach one day. The next day nothing on the chair would move, so I had to take everything apart and lubricate it. It was a slow painstaking process, and luckily I had my other chair to learn off of this video is very helpful. I think I’m gonna start Giving my chair a deep clean a little more often.
Awesome! So glad it helped. Beaches are hard on them! Sand and salt water will lock things up quickly.
How about getting out?
I'll have to do another video but pretty much just reverse order.
Im about to buy a range rover and happy getting in but finding the best way to build the chair when getting out is playing on my mind..sometimes just seeing a fellow chair user get out of a big 4x4 can help with tips, I may also see a better way than I’m thinking currently
@ajr1313 absolutely!
Great video thank you brother
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Hello, I also use a wheelchair (I'm 73 years old) and I wonder why you have small wheels at the front. It's good at home, but outdoors my hair is 200 mm and thick - Georg from Poland
I'm able to do a wheelie when needed! Awesome. My family origin is Poland! Have a great day.
Who shot you?
A bullet ricochet when someone else was shooting.
Why were you killing animals?
To eat.
I am building a custom wheelchair accessible home. They have stove hoods with remotes so you don't need any electrical work installing a switch.
Nice!! Didn't even look to see if that was an option!
@@WheelchairLiving1 Hey how you doing? T-12 SCI 19 years old in1981, 43 years SCI so far @ 62 years old. Yep, all manufacturers make them. I will check out more of your videos. I am trying to figure out what I want to do shower wise. I have always had a tub/shower and the plastic bench and a shower curtain. I am not sure how with a roll in shower I would keep my wheelchair dry. I see a roll in shower working for quads that need help and I am thinking about the future when I can no longer transfer.
@freesoul3371 hey! Good! 26 years post. Was injured at 13 years old. Still living life and trying to make the most of it.
I bet 30%-40% of these upgrades can be eliminated by simply having a proper wheel chair that adjust in height and extended when needed...... All of these wheel chairs I see are weak $500 pieces of metal with zero air-like tires, zero hydraulics, and it's a shame...... These wheels chairs are behind in technology by a few miles when you really look at it
Yea but the issue is insurance companies, demand and cost. They bill over $10k for a basic chair and probably $30-60k for electric chairs. A chair with the latest and greatest technology would never be approved through insurance because it's not a "need" and you'd have few people that could or would pay for it out of pocket.
Way late in your video, but new quadriplegic here. It looks like you had your chair and not an aisle chair, how did you manage that? They want to store mine under the plane
Usually I do have to use an isle chair but In this case, using Southwest, and boarding first I could make it to the front row in my own chair. But it was then placed under the plane.
Truly so glad you shared this. I will definitely be using these ideas in my next home. Absolutely love all the modifications
Thank you! Glad it helped and thanks for watching.
