Diego Espinoza

Diego is from San Diego, California. Skating was his favorite hobby growing up, and today he is a runner, works out at the gym, and does calisthenics. He joined the Army in 2014 as an Infantryman. In 2022, Diego began noticing vision problems, and in September he began medical treatment for his condition. Doctors are still doing ongoing studies to determine the root cause of his vision problems.

 

Diego’s impairment has affected his independence and social life. He wants to use his time at ATF to improve his strength and conditioning and learn about powerlifting techniques. One of Diego’s goals is to complete a successful muscle up.
