Adam e. salyer

I graduated from Albany High school in Louisiana in 1995. Growing up I excelled in track becoming district MVP in Louisiana. Collectively moving through 49 states and 5 countries, it seemed evident the military was going to be my life. 

However, my 14-year career was cut short by injuries. Staring at a wheelchair seemed to be the only result of me going above and beyond. I would not accept defeat though. As the doctors stated you will never walk again, I could not accept this. Although with hard work, extensive rehab, determination, and God as a solution, I would again walk with my wife by my side through 17 surgeries. I could have accepted my disabilities by sitting but it could not define me. 

So I went to school got my degree in Liberal Arts with a 3.7 GPA. Yet I still wanted more.  I then graduated form the University of Incarnate Word and obtained my bachelor’s in government with an international relations focus. 

During my recovery process, I got involved with my community. Thus, my professional political career consists of two full terms of city council for Universal City and running for State Representative District 118. Won various competitions for singing and comedy. I am the owner of the RZR Comics/ comic book company and motivational speaker. Real Estate Agent for 9 years. I was awarded Honorary Kentucky Colonel based on achievements while serving in the United States Army. I have always felt my dreams will lead me to do more.
