    Big Daddy Wheelz: Origins

    As most of you probably know, my favorite nickname is Big Daddy Wheelz, a nickname that I gave myself quite a few years back. Some of you might even know the story of how I came up with the nickname. But I’ve been thinking about that backstory lately, and I realized that it truly started…

  • Weird Science

    Weird Science

    What do scientists do? Experiment. What do scientists experiment with? Chemicals. What can you make with chemicals? Drugs. What do people do with drugs? Experiment. Therefore, experimenting with drugs makes you a scientist. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Now that I’ve gotten a dumb joke out of my system, I figured we’ve…

    Mental Health and Accountability

    As I briefly mentioned in my last post, I’ve had my own struggles with mental health in the past. I don’t mean to bring this up to scare people, but especially now that I turn 28 this weekend (at the time of writing) it has me reflecting on my life so far, the experiences I’ve…

    A Special (Ed) Journey

    When it comes to the educational system for a person with a disability, it is untraditional at best and ableist or underfunded/under-supported (or both) at its worst. Not only am I personally well-acquainted with the struggles of special education, but my mother is also a former special education teacher who knows firsthand how little funding…

    It’s Game Time!

    I’ve been playing video games since I was a little kid. And I played them a lot. Like A LOT a lot. One of my favorite games growing up was Crash Bandicoot, and I played it so much that my dad would hum the theme song whenever we went swimming. What I love so much…

    My Worst Frenemy: Alcohol

    Most people like to enjoy a drink or two (or a few, or a lot) from time to time. I’m sure you’re one of those people. Maybe you drink to unwind after a rough day at work. Maybe you’re socially anxious and need a drink to relax at a big event or some large gathering.…

  • Spilling the LGBTea

    Oh boy, here we go! My first political blog post! If anyone has a problem with what I’m about to say or something I say in the future, it’s not my job to apologize for what I believe in. I’m always open to civil discussions, but if you can’t do that then feel free to…

  • On The Road Again

    As I’m writing this article, I’m currently on a road trip from California to Texas so I can visit some family and friends that I have there. Why am I driving instead of flying? Great question! It’s a well-known fact in the disability community that airlines are notoriously awful at handling wheelchairs. In fact, a…

  • Welcome to My Wild World

    What’s up, beautiful people? If you enjoy being entertained by a chaotic stream of random thoughts, then you’ve come to the right place! Nothing is off limits here, whether it’s life in a wheelchair, my love of video games and the newest things in the industry, latest and greatest technological innovations, my favorite bands and…
