Born and raised in Jersey City, NJ, Cameron was a stand-out football star at St. Peter’s Prep. After graduating, he enrolled in the United States Military Academy at West Point to begin his military career, earn a degree and play college-level football. During his sophomore year, unrelenting headaches brought him to the academy health clinic, and he was quickly rushed to the hospital. A brain aneurysm required an emergency surgery. After surgery, he re-learned how to walk and use his hands and was determined to be back at West Point soon.
The military Medical Evaluation Board had other plans and ended his military career after a drawn-out, pandemic-delayed process. Cameron may be starting over on a completely different path, but he had NPower on his side. As both a young adult and military veteran, he epitomizes the determination, intelligence, and optimism of the individuals we serve.
“Having all that taken away from you because of something that you didn’t ask for….It’s definitely taken a bit of a mental toll, but things are starting to look better now, two years later.”
