These are two pictures that were taken during my senior year of high school. I was 17 at the time. It might look like I haven't changed a whole lot, but there was an extended period of time, begining early in 1999, when I couldn't even recognize myself. That was the result of my allowing myself to become completely unbalanced, both physically and mentally. It took something like four and a half years for me to fully recover and make the transition back to where I was before the problem started. I'm well beyond it now and perhaps even healthier at this stage of my life.
