    Josh..this is what I did for World Crohn's and Colitis Day. The koi fish represents strength and courage in the face of adversity ( my crohn's and other health problems) it is swimming upstream, so that represents that I am still struggling and have been for the last 37 years with this adversity, the blossoms are beautiful flowers that represent the fragility of the human spirit...they also grow into beautiful flowers from the darkest dankest water, and there are three awareness ribbons..one for crohn's and fibromyalgia, one for Rhuematoid arthritis and one for panic and anxiety disorder. I am getting it colored in this fall after gardening season..I dont want to wreck the ink job outside. Its already very empowering. The guy who designed it was an apprentice of a guy who died last year and he had crohn's.

When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, it was the most difficult day of my life. In middle school I was five feet nine inches and only weighed 93 pounds. I was significantly under weight for my size. On numerous occasions, I had to miss school, because of Crohn’s. I was frustrated with life, struggling with a disease that I never heard of. Creating True Guts gave me a way to express the pain I was enduring.

The shock of walking into a doctor’s office and being diagnosed with a disease that I never heard of seemed to anger me more than the disease itself. How could it be, that a disease of this magnitude could fly so far under the radar? While making the film, I thought about myself when I was in middle school, sitting in the doctor’s chair, having the doctor come in and tell me I had some “random” disease called Crohn’s.

My story in this film is about self discovery. Meeting the people profiled in True Guts -- now my friends -- I learned a lot about myself. I want this movie to be inspirational to all those who have to ask themselves the question, “How do I react in the face of extreme challenge?” I hope that viewers of True Guts: The Struggle and Triumph Over Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis walk away believing that accomplishment is a choice – a choice to be made regardless of setback or hardship.

Who I'd like to meet:
