This is Episode 69 of the VulnerABLE Podcast! Being diagnosed with MS would make him completely lose himself, and be lost in anger and pain. Now he's reinventing himself and finding ways to live with his condition, and take back control! When he moved to a small town in Colorado at 10 years old, he didn’t exactly fit in. Growing up he had moved around a lot, and this little town felt very different and weird in some ways. Having a name like Kim didn’t help matters because in those days it was seen as a girls name, and this would cause him to get beat up and bullied quite a bit. At an early age he’d find his confidence when he got a job as a DJ at a radio station. He would stay in this industry for over 30 years, and he loved it dearly. Then in December of 2004 he would start to notice some changes in his sight and body, which he would blame on the stress of his job. A few months later he would be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and his life would be completely flipped upside down. At first it made him bitter and angry, as it was hard to go from someone who was always in control to someone who was losing it. Now he’s taken back control of his life, and although he can’t cure his condition he does what he can to keep it at bay. He’s also become an author, and is continuing to re-invent himself.
