The paramedic whispered in my ear 'God will never leave you or forsake you.'

I wouldn't change what happened to me because then I wouldn't have this chance, in front of all of you, to embrace more people than I ever could have with two arms.

Losing an arm is kinda lame at one point, but at the same time, so much good has come out of it.

I'm actually not star-struck... I like to give people their own space and admire them from a distance.

Surfing is a huge passion of mine. I'm and addict to it in a sense. I think it is a good addiction. I spend about anywhere from two to eight hours a day in the water when I am home. I enjoy competing and traveling. I don't know, I just like being in the ocean and enjoying God's creation. Just the adrenaline you get and its good exercise you get at the same time.

God created the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the waves for our enjoyment. Surfing is just my way of worshipping Him.

Being creative on the waves is challenging, but we each create art in our own way.
