This week, I’m doing something a little different. Instead of interviewing someone from the blind or visually impaired community, I’m taking the mic solo to share my own story. In this episode, I open up about how my journey with blindness began, how it’s shaped my life, and what led me to create the Life After Blindness podcast and website.
In This Episode, I Talk About:
- My childhood and the first signs of my vision loss
- How my blindness progressed through my teenage years and early adulthood
- My love of music and experiences in band and choir
- The different paths my career has taken — from banking and retail to working with the blind community and federal government
- My life now with my wife and daughter, and what family means to me
- Why I started Life After Blindness and my hopes for where it’s headed
Why This Episode Matters
Whether you’re blind, visually impaired, or just looking to better understand the blindness community, I hope my story helps you feel a little more connected. We all have a journey, and this is a piece of mine. If you’re on your own path with vision loss, know that you’re not alone — and there is life after blindness.
