Anthony
Body

Anthony, a 19-year-old Iowan with a hearing impairment, parlayed his lifelong love of planes into a fulltime career after the Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services (IVRS) assisted him in earning his AA degree from Indian Hills Community College. IVRS also helped Anthony with classes and training to earn his pilot’s license to support Anthony’s Sky Inspired Aerial Photography business where he uses drones to shoot videos for online real estate ads and other businesses. The purpose of IVRS’ Self-Employment program is to help Iowans with disabilities build their own careers. Learn more about Anthony’s story here.
