Local Inspiration: Paralympian Jarryd Wallace

At Moroch, our offices are spread across the country so that we can live in the markets we service for our clients. As members of these communities, we come across families, friends and acquaintances that have a true impact on us.

I’m working out of the Georgia office, and Jarryd Wallace, an aspiring 2012 paralympian from right here in Georgia, is a recent example of someone whose story has been truly inspirational. I’ve heard much of his journey through his aunt, Lianne Horne, who is a friend of mine. Jarryd’s hard work and dedication is amazing. For me, it’s a reminder of how far we can really push ourselves — physically, mentally, whatever the situation — to reach the best of our abilities.
