Jim Stevens - Never Ever Give Up

Never Ever Give up - After being shot in the head, having a stroke in the visual cortex, 23 years later leaving him legally blind with only a pin-dot vision in both eyes and dealing with many other traumatic experiences he will share, he still went on to win  the "Tournament of Champions" which was a martial arts competition.  He was the only legally blind man to get this title.  He also still continues to be an artist and has written a book.  He also has some funny stories of how he still forgets about his disabilities at times.  He never gave up and he still never gives up.  You go JIM!

Jim Stevens was born March 2, 1951. He served in the U.S. Army, worked as a commercial diver and refinery chemist. He has two college degrees and is a professor at University of Colorado. He is also an internationally recognized artist and author.
