A diver and a survival story
 
Hello, 

I was a diver at Northeastern. I was very athletic and with electrical engineering as my major made it all very challenging. In Feb. of 91, I obtained the 3 meter school record. In January 12, of 92, I was in a very serious accident that put me in a coma for a month and I could not walk for half a year. I then went back and finished my degree, one class at a time over another year and a half. 

My hair got blonder and I do not have to wear glasses any more. I do have a disability for the rest of my life or a brain injury. With my new life, I have learned to compansate for my disability. I jog, swim and bike a lot every week. I am for now still living at home in Durham, New Hampshire and get along well with my parents. 

At this time, I am the diving coach for Dover high school  and  I am working at the Earth, Ocean and Space Research Center as an electrical engineer at the University of New Hampshire. Previously I worked at Radio Shack, but it was time to move up to something in my field that I enjoy.
