Guest Bio:Staff Sergeant Travis Mills, a quadruple amputee. David opened up his personal gym to Travis, offering his training expertise. The pair started working out together, customizing and adapting to the unique challenges posed by Travis’ injuries. Through working with Travis and engaging the veteran community, David developed a passion for helping those with life-altering injuries find life-fulfilling adaptive performance training.David realized that, while there are many excellent rehabilitation programs as well as adaptive/Paralympic sports organizations, none existed to bridge the gap from basic functional rehabilitation to adapted sport. Adaptive Training Foundation (ATF) was conceived to fill this void.He continued helping adaptive athletes create sustainable lifestyle changes over the next six months, and by September of 2014, Adaptive Training Foundation had received its 501(c)3 status to allow outside support for these ambitious athletes. To this day, ATF is committed to keeping its services to adaptive athletes 100% free of charge, and relies on the generosity of people like yourself to not only restore lives, but empower them through movement.

Guest Bio:From Tiny House Website: “What do you do?” People have been asking each other this question for a long time. I’ve mostly found this question to be small talk, a way to pass the time to avoid awkward silence until your significant other rejoins the conversation, or until you stare at someone way to long without saying something but you’re committed so you don’t back down. 😄😄 I love awkward pauses.Short answer is I basically everything tiny homes. From design and build, to meeting with zoning and planning commissions, to visiting tiny home resorts across the US and several other countries.I bring this up because I recently had the chance to speak to my 4 year olds pre school class on career day. (No awkward pauses with 4 year olds 😁) I got to tell them about people all over the world that live in tiny homes and how some of them are on wheels and have loft bedrooms, and other are on foundations with main level rooms. I got to talk to them about Container homes and Skoolies!I’ve been extremely blessed in my life. I’ve been married for 15 years and been blessed with 4 children. I believe that where much is given, much is required, and I’ve been given a lot of opportunities!I want to make a difference for the Tiny House Movement. I’ve been working on projects for Container Homes, THOW’S, Modular Homes, Financing for Tiny Homes and Zoning for Tiny Home communities for several years and I want to help the masses so everyone has the opportunity to live tiny if they choose.The next year is going to be a big one for tiny homes! If you are working on a project for a tiny home community, or need someone to help design your tiny home, or need to know the differences between a bumper pull and a gooseneck THOW, hit me up! Let’s start working together so that more people don’t have to go through the same growing pains over the next 5 years that we’ve gone through over the last 5.With the Tiny House Movement becoming so huge around the world, we wanted to be involved. We quickly realized that Tiny Houses were not just for minimalists. As a family we have traveled to several tiny house resorts and hotels. We have visited with people who needed a more affordable option because of different circumstances. We have seen homes be built to help the homeless and used as transitional housing. Of course there are always those people who have built them to travel.Whether it is a tiny home you want to live in or you simply want to vacation, we are here to help show you tiny homes, can be used in many different ways.

Even the great Wayne Gretzky has spoken of Kyle’s “greatness.”Despite being born with a rare condition known as congenital amputation, that has left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs that end near his knees, he learned early on with the support of his family, to live life independently and without prosthetics. Kyle thrives on physical challenges and following a few rough middle school football seasons; he went on to become a champion wrestler, CrossFit Certified Instructor and gym owner, competitive MMA/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter, world record-setting weightlifter, and skilled mountaineer.In 2012, Kyle became the first quadruple amputee to climb – actually bearcrawl – the 19,340 feet to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro without the aid of prosthetics. His 10-day ascent was widely covered by the press, followed on social media, and raised money and awareness for wounded veterans as well as Tanzanian schoolchildren. Upon his return, Kyle won his second ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) award for Best Male Athlete with a Disability. Four years later, he reached the summit of Argentina’s breathtakingly beautiful and sometimes deadly Mount Aconcagua – the highest peak in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres, standing at 22,838 feet. Following that epic summit, Nike featured Kyle in the powerful commercial “Unlimited Will,” which debuted globally during the 2016 Olympics, was viewed by millions around the world – and was part of the series that AdWeek named the most memorable of all commercials during the 2016 Olympics. Kyle has not let his success be defined by anything or anyone but himself. He has lived his life striving to do more, learn more, push harder, go further—and to inspire others to do the same by sharing his story and living by example. Though he tailors his speeches to his audience, his messages are centered on building a life driven by purpose and meaning, the importance of the undying pursuit of dreams, and the belief that no obstacle is too great and nothing in their lives can keep them from accomplishing their goals.
