My name is Darren Hanks, and I'm 36 years old. I was born here in Salt Lake City. I have been a part of this company
since Febuary 2004. I've been disabled for about 19 years with a Major Head Injury. When I was 17 years old, I rolled my car
coming down the canynon. I have been in school for a long time, and just received my B.S. degree, with an emphasis in Psychology
& Sociology. Working with other disabled people gives me a feeling like I'm helping towards their recovery, and their
goals in life.
Thanks, Darren Hanks-President

always lived. I have a mom and a dad and a brother and a sister. I enjoy being there for the customer. I always work hard,

My name is Benjamin, I was born and raised in Queens Borough, New York. By age 12, my parents were deceased. I was raised
by my step-mother through age 17, at which time, I was sent to live with my brother in SLC, Utah, due to my abuse of drugs
& alcohol. My geographic location sent me spiraling downward into a world of alcohol, drugs and hopelessness. Despite
my destructive behavior, I was blessed with sporadic moments of sobriety throughout my life, affording me a glimpse of the
life I could have. Today, I take pride in working with Intermountain Handicapped Services because it has instilled a new sense
of well being in my life, as I prepare to enter my first year of college as a Sociology major. Thanks to people like your,
I have a second chance at life. Benjamin Cabey - Delivery Driver
