5/5/1997 I was in an accident snowmobiling in the mountains I went off a cliff and dropped about 40 to 50 feet breaking my back at t12, (that is about right in the middle of your back) because it was a very steep slope I tumbled another 75 to 100 feet further causing the small broken parts of my vertebra to chew up my spinal calum rendering me paralyzed from the waist down. They was able to life flight me to one hospital when they realized they couldn’t help me they then life flighted me to the university of Utah hospital where they found out I had a broken hip they had to put a big screw in my hip along with two rods down each side of my spine also spent 5 weeks in the hospital. That next January is when Derrick Thomas broke is back then passed so it was close to home for me.

Chapter two 4 years later I was at the sand dunes and rolled my 4 wheeler causing the 4wheeler to roll on top of me breaking my pelvis but because I have no feeling I didn’t know it and just thought I was sore later that night started to turn grey and wasn’t coherent so they took me to the emergency room where they life flitted me to Provo were the doctor prepared my wife that I would not make it through the night I was in a coma for 3 weeks but obviously made it through.

Chapter 3 I was riding my 4 wheeler up in the mountains and stopped were I dropped my hat when I leaned over to pick it up by femur exploded into about 20 pieces because of complications with my paraplegia my bones in my legs have osteoporosis because they aren’t weight bearing and low Blood circulation I had to ride my 4 wheeler out when they moved me to my truck my leg was like jelly making my son about pass out, they had to put a big rod down my leg so the bones could heal no one could figure out how a sharp piece of bone didn’t puncher an artery.

Chapter 4 3 years ago I got infection in my leg had to spend a week in the hospital getting iv antibiotics and then again one year later with the other leg.

Needles to say I have a lot of metal inside of me and some day an infection will take me I take an antibiotic every day but eventually it will become resistant to antibiotics.

But I am still here and still very active I snowmobiled 12 years after I got hurt the first time until it got too expensive, I still am very active outdoorsman have a rzr and still work on my farm we have over 150 animals,
I have always been a chief’s fan since I think 1986 or 87
