Eric Kenning
Greetings all! As you may or may not know, my name is Eric Kenning. I sustained a spinal cord injury when born, raised in central Minnesota, received a BA in psychology from UMD, got a MSW (Master of social work) from ASU and I currently hold a license to practice social work. Throughout my life, I have been active in sports and have enjoyed downhill skiing, basketball, and worked 10 years to go to the 1992 Paralympics. No medals were earned however much was learned during the process. I currently enjoy camping, roleplaying games, good food, exercise and socializing. Previously, I had worked for the Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association while going to school and enjoyed the support of this organization
