About Jonathan Parks
Jonathan D. Parks, 29, was born in Detroit, Michigan. At the tender age of 18 months, Parks suffered a severe stroke, leaving him paralyzed on his left side. Doctors believed he would not live the life of a normal child. It was decided early that Parks would never walk or communicate clearly.
Instead of using his shortcomings as a crutch, Parks developed a competitive edge. He went on to obtain three varsity sports letters in basketball, track and cross country while attending Communication & Media Arts High School in Detroit.
