Autorenporträt

My name is Mark Grimsley, and I live on the Fraser Coast. I developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) following an incident during deployment on active service as an aircraft life support fitter for the air force. I felt trapped by my disability until my daughter gave me a camera for Christmas and I taught myself photography. This experience helped me reshape my mind and find some independence and connection with the community again. I now have an extensive collection of local bird and wildlife images. I wish to share my experience with my disorder and educate others about FND and service dogs.
