Thomas's Story
Life
Life has been very good to me. I got married to a wonderful woman back in 1998. Tammara had two children from a previous marriage which are just wonderful. She and I have a 5 year old girl together who is Daddy's little angel.
I have been employed at a great company up here in Alaska for the past 15 years. I am working as a System's Administrator for them.

My biggest goal now is to drive again, and to receive a Vocational Rehabilitation/Psychology degree. To be able to drive again and have some independence would be great. I want the degree so that I may counsel people with injuries such as mine, that just aren't taking it very well. Wish me luck.
