About Me

 Learn that you are not a mistake; you are created for something amazing.

After all, if an ailing toddler who practically lived in a hospital can now climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, if a boy who couldn’t read or write can now publish his memoir, you too have no limits to what you can accomplish!

"I Want To Share My Story So People Who Feel Alone Or Discouraged Might Feel, Well, Less Alone And More Confident!" - JT

THIS IS MY STORY  

I was diagnosed with a life-threatening syndrome called VATER/VACTERL the moment I was born. I endured 250 days in hospitals before age 3 and 16 major surgeries before age 16. As soon as doctors discovered one condition and treated it, a new and worse one would pop up.

On top of that, I have such severe dyslexia and short-term memory loss that my school psychologist told me in fourth grade that I would be illiterate for life.

So, I pushed through and got really good at overcoming my own life challenges! As hard as it may have been for someone who is dyslexically challenged I wrote a book! UNTETHER is a message of hope to everyone that no matter what you may be going through you will pull through the relentless suffering into light-filled breakthroughs—because I and my family did and you can too!  

JT not only hopes to empower you to empower others, but he shares what he has learned to live life free and strong, no matter what the challenge.
