Oscar “Oz” Sanchez is no stranger to adversity and overcoming it.  Born in Los Angeles in 1975, Oz was involved with gangs and street life by the time he finished high school.  In 1996, he turned his life around when he joined the Marine Corps and entered into the Special Forces Unit.  After five years with the Marines, he transferred to the Navy to operate as a Navy Seal, but before the transfer took effect, Oz’s life changed forever when he was involved in a motorcycle accident which resulted in a spinal cord injury and paralysis.

Since the accident Oz took stock of his life and decided to pursue an education. In 2006, he graduated from SDSU with a degree in business administration and a minor in public communications. 

Oz also took up the sport of handcycling and is currently an elite level athlete competing on the U.S. Paralympics cycling team. Oz is currently ranked in the top 2 nationally and among the top 5 athletes in the world. He plans to compete with the U.S. team in the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, China in September.

Recently, Oz became the official spokesperson/elite athlete for both the U.S .Paralympics committee and the Challenged Athlete Foundation’s (CAF) “Operation Rebound” program which provides post-rehabilitation support and mentoring to American service members suffering permanent physical injuries as a result of the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
