He has been involved in PHWFF as a participant for quite a while, and has recently taken on the role of Project lead for the Wilmington program. When John was asked what PHWFF means to him, this was his response “I think that PHWFF has been one of the most beneficial things that I have been involved with since my injury in Afghanistan. PHWFF has helped me learn to cope with my physical injuries, as well as the ones people do not see. I honestly believe that had I not discovered the program, that I would be heading down the road to be a bad Veteran statistic.”
