He lost his leg as a child and went on to become a professional
athlete, founding member of Outdoor F.U.T.U.R.E., cofounder of
Inclusive Outdoors Project and a mountaineer who climbed then skied
Denali.
I was born in Hartford, Connecticut. My leg was amputated [due to
septicemia] when I was nine months old. We moved back to India, where
my parents are from, to Ahmedabad, when I was 2 and stayed there for
five years. I was using a prosthetic leg and crutches and a lot of
equipment that I was growing out of and breaking, and we moved back
[to Glastonbury, Connecticut] for more support.
