Depending on the season, Ashlee can be found camping, kayaking, hunting, fly fishing, or hand cycling while making a difference in board rooms, consulting businesses and mentoring newly injured patients and their families.” As a champion for change, Ashlee has many accomplishments and is involved with many organizations.
