Terry worked as a business manager, forklift salesperson, and his final employment was as a union carpenter which led to an on-the-job injury that left him crippled and he developed many health issues that required surgical interventions for 17 years. Despite the issues, he remained happy and optimistic about the future. His determination led to being quite innovative that helped him overcome adversity.
