I am a Talladega native. I am an informative individual. I always ask others their names followed by “what did you eat last night?” At birth I suffered from oxygen deprivation, later in life I was diagnosed with episodic explosive disorder. Before coming to the Arc of Central Alabama my parents made the choice to send me to JBS. My mom’s health declined and my father could not take care of both. My mother passed in 2011. My father is still a part of my life. 
 
I have a good personality but a difficult time controlling my episodic explosive disorder. I find comfort in building things. Art is one of those activities that keeps me focused. I find calmness in taking on projects. My painting is Untitled.
