“When I saw the car coming straight at me, I tried to swerve, but my only option was driving off the road into a steep drop. I woke up in the hospital to learn that the driver was drunk, with a blood alcohol level of .232, and my seatbelt had failed in the 1979 Mazda RX7. Reckless actions changed my life instantly. Yet, I refused to let another persons choices block my success or allow pain to rule my life. I found strength, peace, and tools that transformed my journey, and now I use them to help others do the same.”
