Philip Anderson

Philip joined the Air Force in 2009 as a Tactical Air Control Party member, earning an Air Force Combat
Action Medal. Throughout his career he sustained multiple injuries associated with the rigorous nature of job that required medical intervention. His injuries started to make themselves known in 2015, but it was really only until a few years later he began to seek help. He also received a diagnosis of PTSD related to traumatic events occurring in Afghanistan in 2013. His injuries have not kept him from being active, they’ve only made him learn to adjust to his new abilities. He looks forward to showcasing how adaptive sports have helped him get better in his recovery.
