after that audition, i was actually struck by a car on my motorcycle while riding home from work. i had three surgeries to try to save my foot. my doctor basically told me that amputation seems to be the best option. i think i made the decision kind of get back up probably after a week of being at home. that s when i started fighting. i got my first prosthesis. then he started sending me krid videos and ran and did a roundoff backhand spring. from the day i started walking to the day i walked back into the audition room was eight months. then one day i actually got the call to join the cast. i was completeliby side myself. i have four different prosthetic legs i use for the show. i don t think i can take for granted every second that i get to spend out on that stage because there was a time when it never could have happened. it s resourceful.
