I am interested in becoming a doctor and I am visually impaired. I was wonderring if anyone could give me Mr. Chords contact information. I would like to have a mentor that could help me reach my dream. This video is very inspirational.
Hi Mikhal, I am not sure of his contact info but I will work on getting it for you. You can email me at baconev@yahoo.com Let me know in your email your contact info and when I find him I'll send him your comment and contact information. I do know that he lives in Wisconsin, and I believe in the Green Bay area. Take care and hold on to that dream and reach it!
