-
- Economia
Andrew Horn didn’t know what he wanted to do next coming out of college. While his friends were excited to head off to their first jobs, he didn’t have a sense of purpose in his life and felt that he’d hit rock bottom. So when one of his friends pointed out that sitting there sulking about his situation wouldn’t change anything, he knew he had to do something.
He realized that he had a desire to be of service to other people deep down. And the times he volunteered to help disabled youth to go into adaptive sports were one of the few experiences that he was proud of. This led him to start a children's nonprofit, which would grow to become one of the premier adaptive athletic providers in the DC metro area.
Finding his purpose gave Andrew that sustainable energy source to be better than what he thought he could be and to keep pushing forward. This is the same energy that encouraged him to successfully launch his business and help propel its growth by 1,734% over the past three years.
