Oh, he is also a quadriplegic.

“My message to you is, do not wait to follow your heart’s desires. Life is short and if you do not get what you need, it is your own fault. Spend time envisioning what you really want out of life. Concentrate on every detail of the life you desire and figure out what steps are needed to reach those goals.” ~ Michael Warkentin

We would never have enough of these true-life triumphs of the spirit stories: I met Michael Warkentin on the evening of July 1st, 2019. I was on my way home, returning from a photoshoot. The photographer, who was driving us back, asked me if I would mind if he briefly stopped to say hi to a friend. I had just met this photographer and was not comfortable with his request. He insisted.
He said it would only take 10 minutes and that the man he was meeting is an inspiring person. We arrived at Michael’s beautiful 1920’s Long Beach building’s 11th floor Penthouse.
