In 2000, he was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). In 2012 he was placed on dialysis and in 2015 he received his kidney transplant.
Since then, he has received his Dialysis Technician Certificate of Completion and Personal Trainer Level 2 Certification. He developed a low to moderate exercise program for people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT), and Kidney Transplant Patients to experience better health. www.betterhealth-fitness.org
The program Dialysis Is Not Your Life (DINYL) was birthed from his book to build a community for those living with kidney disease, dialysis, and kidney transplants. The program is designed to increase kidney disease awareness, bridge the gap between the patient and nephrologist, and to reveal the power each patient has within themselves to redefine their lives to live a more quality level of life.
