I do everything I do to pay tribute to my great-grandfather.

I've trained all my life not to be distracted by distractions.

I am so blessed. How blessed I am to have the life that I have.

I have permits to be the first person in the world to walk across the Grand Canyon so that's a process we'll start working on. I'd say within three to five years I'll accomplish that as well.

One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.

I'm always looking for the next major hurdle and doing something that the world has never seen.

I feel like I'm on cloud nine right now.
