This picture is from 41 years ago. I was diagnosed with a rare fibrosarcoma. I was grateful to be given the chance to live, to have this surgery. July is Sarcoma Awareness Month. You're not alone. I survived. The Tumor Board consensus at UCSF determined I couldn't be saved. My Head & Neck surgeon, Dr. Roger Crumley, went against consensus and said it was worth trying to save my life. Today, I'm thriving. Anyone out there with a Sarcoma cancer should contact us today (@sarcomaalliance ) for resources and/or for 2nd opinion financial assistance. @hncalliance @sarcomaalliance And it's not too late to register for the 9th Annual Sarcoma Exchange taking place this Sunday, 7/19 from 9am-12:30pm PST eventbrite.com/x/the-9th-ann….

I am honored to share that I have joined the Board of Directors of the @sarcomaalliance . As a fibrosarcoma survivor, this mission is deeply personal to me. The Sarcoma Alliance helps improve the lives of people affected by sarcoma through education, guidance, support, and better access to care. Many of us diagnosed with sarcoma begin treatment at oncology centers near our homes. One of the most impactful services the Sarcoma Alliance provides is financial assistance for patients seeking second opinions from sarcoma specialists — helping ensure every patient receives the best care and the best possible outcome. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to give back and support others navigating the uncertainty of diagnosis and treatment. #YouAreNotAlone sarcomaalliance.org/ #Sarcoma #CureCancer #Otolaryngology #HeadandNeckCancer

A life-threatening and facially disfiguring cancer at 21 changed everything. In today’s Huffington Post, I share how my “easy street” became littered with detours—and how those detours ultimately shaped my resilience. Life is a journey, and when I look in the mirror today, my battle scars remind me of healing, growth, and strength—not pain. My experience was a gift. I focus each day on gratitude. If you struggle with attitude, practice gratitude. It’s one of the most powerful ways to build and sustain a positive mindset as we face whatever challenges lie ahead. 👉 Read the full story here huffpost.com/entry/surgery-f… #Resilience #Gratitude #CancerSurvivor #HealingJourney #FacialDifference

I was honored to be a guest on The Secrets of Being Podcast with host Dawn Witte, in an episode she titled “This One Word Helped Him Reclaim His Life.” @DesireToInspir7 @Portia_Booker 🎧 Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=VmzNrIXG… We talked about resilience—about what it means to feel fractured by adversity and how confidence is rebuilt slowly, through reflection, patience, and small wins. We also discussed my gratitude practice, faith, and the power of surrounding ourselves with positive, supportive people. This episode is a reminder that scars are proof of strength. That adversity doesn’t take away your worth—it reveals it. . #Resilience #HealingJourney #OvercomingAdversity #TheResilienceMindset

I am honored that CEOWORLD Magazine published my latest article on why resilience is not just a personal asset — it’s a leadership superpower. There’s a lot to unpack about my ReBAR Resilience Framework and the practical tactics leaders can use to build workplace resilience. In the article, I explore how: Success and resilience share the same DNA — grit, perseverance, and belief in oneself. For leaders at the highest levels, resilience isn’t optional. It’s a differentiator. Research shows that leaders who score high in resilience are consistently viewed as more effective by their teams, peers, and senior stakeholders — especially in moments of disruption and uncertainty. My own journey proved this to be true. A positive mindset became my superpower and the catalyst for rebuilding my confidence. .
