My name is Jake Walker, and yes, I am keenly aware of the irony of my last name! Lol

Roughly seven years ago, I was a 23-year-old, days away from graduating with a degree in communication. During a layover between finals and graduation day, I found myself incredibly bored, [so I decided to do an AMA here,](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/7h7r09/iama_23yearold_guy_living_with_sma_a_form_of/) and it seemed like a lot of people here really enjoyed it. We talked about my past [drifting my electric wheelchair](https://youtu.be/ExN76hAiiFI?si=qXmjdw5zQNWWcPki), my then-present as a pending graduate on the verge of receiving a [cutting edge medical treatment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nusinersen), and my expected future career that I expected to pursue in advertising. We had a lot of really cool conversations, and it was honestly one of the most interesting things I've ever done on the Internet!

A lot has changed for me in the seven year interim since then; I began the cutting edge medical treatment about a year and a half after the AMA and I've been responding to it incredibly well! I made one new wheelchair drifting video in 2019, but it didn't feel like it had the same magic (and my driving ability isn’t like it used to be). I haven't made too much progress on the original intended career front, and unexpected setbacks during the  job hunting process really had me reevaluating my level of a commitment towards joining the corporate world.

Around this time, I made the decision to devote the majority of my creativity and mental energy towards a music project ([faulty wires](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1mYrAHU8try4q3ZadPtgrL?si=FYzgrM_8Qj6o5xNKjAc2YA)) I had been kicking around with my buddy Oliver. We wanted to make a punk ep with the goal of highlighting the cohesiveness of punk and the disabled life experience. It took us 6 years, but the result is our debut EP, "[Punk Isn’t Dead... But Maybe It’s Disabled](https://open.spotify.com/album/2OC3JT4CGOikHezFjIUeOc?si=ecwAoYxtRum5IDMdlYZtiQ)", which dropped last Tuesday!
