Brian Jeansonne

BRIAN JEANSONNE is a proud native of New Orleans, where he resides with his wife, Kristy, and their five children – four sons and one daughter. An avid athlete, Brian's life took an unexpected turn in 2019; during a routine morning workout, he noticed his left foot dragging unnaturally. Now, four years post-diagnosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) has significantly impaired his neuromuscular capabilities. Brian has recently completed his memoir, an 80,000-word narrative, written using only his eyes. Online, you can follow Brian and his family, @theJeansonne7.
