Living in the Noise

I help disabled individuals around the world get work, and I do not charge money for this.  This is somewhat of a hobby, but it's important to me and I treat it like a full-time job alongside every effort I invest into my labors.

As an individual with multiple disabilities, it's critically important for me that I help others who are disabled succeed in the work force.

This is deeply important to me.
