    I am 48 years old and catastrophically disabled by multiple sclerosis (secondary-progressive MS)
    that finally put me in a wheel chair in 2005. My MS started in the mid-80s while I was a Marine with
    the 2nd and 3rd Battalion, 5th     Marines. I was a 60mm Mortar man in 2/5 and a 50-caliber machine
    gunner in 3/5, but because so little was and still is known about MS, I was misdiagnosed with
    everything from depression to being called crazy.

    After the Marine Corps, I became an auto tech at a Chevrolet dealership in Norman, Oklahoma,
    which is where I was raised. My condition became so bad that after 10 years, I could no longer walk
    without falling down and suffered from extreme fatigue. I now live in Muskogee, Oklahoma. I can sit
    at my desk and function pretty well. I use a hands-free mouse that I control with my head
    movements to do my design work, and I use my computer because I can no longer use my hands. I
    have been designing cars for about five years now along with logos, etc. I really love doing this
    work because it is one of the only things I can do by myself without any assistance from anyone.

    I can still stand, but I have no balance and cannot take steps. Without the help of my wonderful
    family to assist me to do other things like moving from my chair to the bed, I would be lost.
    Kathy,Val and Tim, I love and would be lost without you.

    I'm also an avid     Oklahoma Sooner fan and have been one since 1965.
    I have been lucky to have been asked to design for     Becca Gladden, Wally Cahill, Leilani Munter,
    Ricky Lee    , Mike Corrado, Raisin Junior, Toni Lynn Starr, Armed Forces Racing, J.J. Yeley and
    Bobby Dale Earnhardt, the oldest grandson of 7 time Sprint Cup / Winston Cup Champion
    Dale Earnhardt.
