Michael OBrien’s Near Death Transformation

Jun 17, 2015

Michael O’Brien’s life literally changed in the blink of an eye while pursuing his passion. From company perks to a loving family waiting home each day, the American dream couldn’t get any more realistic. All of a sudden BOOM! On the morning of July 11, 2001, Michael was out on a cycling training ride before a corporate meeting and was hit head-on by a SUV that crossed into his lane traveling 40 mph. The pain and healing that followed tested his beliefs, energy, and emotions. At times, he even seemed to have more setbacks than successes, doubting the possibility of recovery internally. But somewhere along that journey, Michael decided he would not be defined by the accident. Rather, he would be defined by how he responded “TO” the accident. “ I made the choice to recalibrate my approach to the rest of my life.”-OB
