ZACH ANNER
Humor, adventures keep Zach Anner rolling
“One thing that I have learned is that you can never let a disability stop you from doing the things you want to do. I try to look at it as something I have to cope with. It’s a challenge – there’s no doubt about that – but it’s one that shouldn’t stop people from pursuing goals.”
- Zach Anner
