Scott Fedor discusses how his life changed in an instant in 2009 when he dove into a lake and broke his neck. Fedor shares his story and philosophy for living in his new book, Head Strong: How a Broken Neck Strengthened My Spirit.

Fedor explains how a man he met in a nursing home told him about the services offered by the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation. “A counselor named Janice met with me, and I was amazed at the ways they could help me get back to living a normal life and work,” Fedor said. “As someone who was always career driven, I knew it would be different, but I still wanted to work. I wanted to contribute.”
