In the year of 2016 I was involved in a tragic car accident that required surgeries with therapy.

I had a break in employment due to a car accident were I had an open fracture to my left arm. I had surgery to repair my left arm with a rod and screws. I had to go through intense therapy to get back the use of my left arm due to me being left handed. This major event in my life cause to be off work in order to heal.
