Shane was asked what "does it mean to him, to represent individuals with disabilities at the event?" In which, he replied, "I'm honored to be attending this event to honor NTI! I've lived with a disability since the day I was born, and in recent years I've been learning more about the real-world implications of having a disability when looking for a job. It's not easy, and to know that NTI is there to help people with that process is a beautiful thing."
