Col. Greg Gadson’s inspires working with the Challenged Athletes Foundation

From tragedy to triumph, Col. Greg Gadson is example in the power of possibility. Serving out country in the Middle East, Gadson lost both his legs above the knees and normal use of his right arm and hand. Despite this, Gadson remained on active duty in the Army and continued to inspire many with his message of courage, perseverance, determination and teamwork. His inspiration earned him two Super Bowl rings with the New York Giants and made his acting debut in 2012 in Battleship. Gadson is now involved with the Challenged Athletes Foundation where “heroes of sport show us what we can achieve when we empower everyone.” Check out Gadson’s story and the mission of CAF.

It's not up to me."

Bill Herenda’s Hollywood Breatkthrough

"If you're not nervous, that's a problem...Pressure is a privilege. I think that may have been Billie Jean King. And to really understand that and get after it, it's really important.

Catching up with Dick Davey
