Meet Adaptive Athlete: Cody George

Cody George grew up in Orlando, Florida where he developed a passion for hockey, surfing, and motorcycles. Cody graduated highschool in 2010 and then enlisted in the Marine Corps where he served for four years and reached the rank of E-4 or Corporal. He was deployed to Afghanistan where he engaged in many combat operations with his unit. 

 

After leaving the Marines, Cody became a firefighter where he spent eight years serving his community, which he aims to return to after his time at ATF. Last August, Cody was riding his motorcycle and was involved in an accident that resulted in amputation of his left leg above the knee. 

 

Cody wants to use his 9 weeks to become physically stronger and mentally tougher than he is currently, in order to return to fire service and continue serving his community back home.
