'I have much more to offer than I lack'

About Me


Hello everyone! Welcome to my profile. My name is Glenn and I am a native to Maryland, born and raised in the Annapolis area. I love to laugh and make people laugh, socialize, make new friends and hang out with old ones, drink, inspire, and enjoy life! I have a deep belief in that when you do something do it right. I am in a wheelchair due to having Becker's Muscular Dystrophy (BMD). I am not a complainer and accept what I have been given in life. I feel like I am conquering BMD by staying active, never giving up, and doing as much as possible for myself. I have a high energy level and I truly believe 'Life is What You Make It'. Never focus on what you can't do, focus on what you can do. Be persistent, be open, use humor to make things easier, communicate, educate, and most importantly fight and stay strong. I feel I am very fortunate and lucky in life. I bet you ask how can you say that with having BMD? What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!! I am a fighter and BMD has motivated and made me focus my energy on beating it and living the best possible life I can. I have traveled quite a bit throughout the USA, Europe, and the Caribbean. I enjoy local bars and clubs and I can often be found in downtown Annapolis. I have a successful career, a supportive family, and awesome non-judgmental friends. Life is good!
