Writer, advocate and motivational speaker on living one’s best life with chronic kidney disease, child centered multiracial adoption, and river restoration, protection and enjoyment.  Just a “dude on dialysis,” he has over twenty years of experience on home modalities.  Through the grace of his wife, Andria, and a deceased donor, he has had two kidney transplants with each quickly failing due to FSGS.   He takes life in stride with his mottos of #dialysisismygiftoflife and #dialyzefortheprize.
