This blog post is based on an interview with Sunil "Sunny" Patel, conducted by Ariyanna Ellison, SportsAbility Alliance Sport Management Intern. 

Sunny Patel’s story is a powerful example of how sports can foster inclusion, connection, and personal growth. Based in Tallahassee since graduating from Florida State University in 1990, Sunny has built a career working in computer systems for the state. Outside of work, however, much of his life revolves around sports. “There’s not many activities I do that aren’t sports related,” Sunny shared. “I travel, I like movies and music… but mostly, it’s sports.”
