BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A local man is giving everyone a lesson in innovation and perseverance.

It’s been five years since WAFB first introduced you to James Robert, a Catholic High School graduate, who didn’t let his disability stop him from rising to the top.

Since then, he graduated from LSU and is using his talents to help others with disabilities.

Inside a lab at LSU, Robert is using technology to create opportunity, and it all started with the idea that dreams aren’t measured by your limits.
