programs — first swimming, then little league baseball. He excelled

faced with the challenge of wearing artificial limbs, and in high school and
college Lloyd became a champion gymnast who competed against able
bodied athletes. In 1996 he competed on the USA Paralympic sit volleyball
squad. He is an avid downhill mono-skier and a certified SCUBA diver.
