Matt's Story
I was once in a serious auto accident with many major broken bones and vertebrae in my neck, capped off with traumatic brain injury, followed by more than ten weeks of coma. I’ve fully recovered even though “experts” told me I’d never walk, and family is a very big deal in my life.

All listeners will leave my presentation better equipped to tackle or elude obstacles blocking their path towards success. Please spread me to your friends, and thanks for being mine!
