\n\nFROM HIS BIO:
\n\n"I was diagnosed with a life-threatening syndrome called VATER/VACTERL the moment I was born.\xa0I endured 250 days in hospitals before age 3 and 16 major surgeries before age 16. As soon as doctors discovered one condition and treated it, a new and worse one would pop up.On top of that, I have such severe dyslexia and short-term memory loss that my school psychologist told me in fourth grade that I would be illiterate for life.
\n\nSo, I pushed through and got really good at overcoming my own life challenges! As hard as it may have been for someone who is dyslexically challenged I wrote a book!\xa0UNTETHER is a message of hope to everyone that no matter what you may be going through you will pull through the relentless suffering into light-filled breakthroughs\u2014because I and my family did and you can too!\xa0\xa0\u200b
\n\nJT not only hopes to empower you\xa0to empower others, but he shares what he has learned to live life free and strong, no matter what the challenge."
