Growing up, I was a water baby. We lived near a lake, had a pool in our backyard, and as soon as I was old enough, I joined a swim team. By 10, I was winning local events.

I thought my sports career was over once I got into a wheelchair. That was the hardest reality I had to face.

I made it to the top five on 'Dancing with the Stars.' To me, that was just a tremendous accomplishment.

We all have challenges. We have to face them, embrace them, defy them, and conquer them.

We have been using Ayurveda for generations, and it has been a vital part of the family.

If I could only do one exercise, it would be dead lifting. For cardio, I dance, I ride my bike, I run and I have kids. There is a... lot of cardio just from being a parent.

I've organized everything for my family since I was little. I know how to delegate and budget. I solve people's problems.

When I go across the state, people are really asking the question, 'Who is up there fighting for us? Who is fighting for us at the state capital for the little guy out here, for the working Georgian, for the Georgian family?'
