Welcome

Through the vicissitudes of life you find many opportunities for growth and development. The goal of 'No Fences' is to share my stories in hopes of helping others overcome the walls that develop as a result of an unfortunate event.
Focusing on fitness, travel and communication as bridges to a healthy and balanced life, I encourage others to build the bridges necessary to find their balance. Whether you learn from and follow the bridges that work for myself or contribute new ones, we'll explore all the benefits and endless limits to a happy and balanced life.
