Meet Jeff Joos

Life Changing Accident
I was injured the summer following my first year of college while on vacation with my family in North Carolina. I was at the beach and was coming out of the water using the momentum of a wave (kind of body surfing) and another faster wave came in behind it and crashed, taking me down where I struck my head in the sand breaking my neck.

About Me
I graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Finance. I was accepted at Capital Law School and started there Fall 2011. I interned with WrightChoice Inc. over the summer where I worked on several projects furthering the interests of the disabled community. I started the groundwork for a publication called DiversABILITY Ohio which will be a coffee table book featuring professionals with disabilities and spotlights for rising students (like myself).
I am interested in Sports and Entertainment Law and will be pursuing that field for a career. I am looking forward to participating in the Sports and Entertainment Law Association at Capital Law.

My Dreams & Aspirations
My dream was to become a successful professional sports agent, but I am now more open to the amateur sports side. I have two dream jobs now. Professional agent or working for the NCAA. My goal is to provide enough income for myself to be comfortable and then be as philanthropic as possible. I would like to be able to give as much as possible to the community.

What CL Means to Me
To me Creative Living means freedom and regaining my independence. Without Creative Living I would be unable to live on my own.  I would likely be living with my mother in a very small almost inaccessible apartment or worse, living in a nursing home.
Creative Living has given me a home of my own where I have the opportunity to pursue my dreams.

Message to Our Supporters
Support of Creative Living means that myself and others can live the normal independent lives that everyone should be able to live.  It also helps give me the opportunity to go to school in order to pursue my dream.
