Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
One of the leaders of the Spokane Tribe, an executive order tribe established in 1881.
Says some people just "have it together," but he didn't.
Knew he'd found a job he liked when he got up and felt good, left work and felt good.
Was in the military for six years and says his head and heart were "in conflict" because he knew it wasn't what he wanted to do.
Now provides health education to individuals and families in his tribe.
