My wife, Kerri, and I have adopted five children. Trae, our middle child, has autism. He was developmentally delayed and did not walk or talk until he was 2 1⁄2. At the age of three, he was diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum. His pediatrician at the time told us Trae was the way he was, and he would not change. Well, that was not good enough for us! After much research, we decided to try diet changes and nutritional supplements in addition to the therapies he was already receiving. The changes were amazing. Since we began this journey, Trae has made leaps and bounds! The combination of therapy services, diet, and biomedical treatment has helped Trae blossom into the young man he is today! Last year, our youngest child, Eli, was also diagnosed with autism. He is 16 years old and is in freshman. As a family, we continue to look for ways to help both of our children make progress and develop.



The Kids & Dreams Foundation was created in part from our family's life experiences and the sad reality that is occurring in our nation today with bullying. The foundation provides resources, educational conferences, camps, and anti-bullying support to kids and their families.
