He suffers from Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a rare eye disorder that slowly destroys the pigment cells in the eyes. So far, there are no known cures. Battling against such a crippling disease led him through a labyrinth of challenges. His fight to remain positive was put under more pressure when he found out that he was also suffering from Usher syndrome, a disorder that results with him going both deaf and blind.
His journey involved experiencing a wide range of emotions which was necessary in order to deal with his disability. The issues and challenges became so intense that it brought him to a crossroad where he had the choice to give up fighting against such a crippling medical condition or to continue on his struggles. It was at this point where he became a Christian and now believes that God is with him through all his struggles. After a long hard battle of overcoming huge obstacles, he finally learned to embrace his medical condition.view less
