Vocational Profile of Dan:
Dan was an average twenty something who was enjoying life. He ran for his high school track team, he was going to college and he also had a perspective future in the automotive industry. But at the age of twenty two years old Dan was in a devastating accident that severed his spine which left him as a paraplegic bond to a wheel chair for the rest of his life.
