As an infant, Paul was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, a medical condition that causes paralysis of one side of the body. His mother was told he would be bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, but she refused to accept that prognosis and made it her mission to find a specialist that was willing to help.
After many grueling years of intense physical therapy and a life changing surgery Paul not only learned to walk, but went on to play varsity level baseball in high school. Despite all of the challenges put before him, he had the perseverance and mindset to overcome it all.
Today Paul is a successful life coach and he teaches others to rewrite their stories, just as he did, so that they can live their best lives.
