I have a wife named Kimberly, whom I married 14 years ago in Boca
Raton, Florida. Iam the father of four great sons. I have a 12 year old,
twin 8 year old and a 6 year old. Ever since I was a child, the thing I
have always valued most has been my family.
Since I have been a parent, I have always put my children and my wife
first. It doesn’t matter how much work I have to get done or what I
have planned, the needs of my wife and kids has and always will come
first for me. My son Blake was diagnosed with Autism on September 11,
2006 and my life and the life of my family has never been the same
since.
When my wife and I got the diagnosis from my son’s neurologist, we
felt lost and helpless and maybe felt a little sorry for ourselves at
the same time. Since 2006, our family has pulled together to help Blake
become all that he can be. Blake has achieved so much over the past five
years and is an inspiration to us and everyone he meets. He has
learned to talk, to use the bathroom and he has learned to express his
emotions and show love and affection for his family. I am so proud of
all the hard work my wife, and Blake’s therapists have put forth as I
can now see the light at the end of a long, dark tunnel with Blake and
it is shining bright.
When life gives you lemons you have a choice to make and my family chooses to make lemonade.
