J. R. Hatcher: is a traumatic brain injury survivor of over twenty years. Prior to his brain injury at 21 years of age, he worked as a porter for a car dealership. With plans to attend college, J. R. worked as much as he could to save money for his future. While working at the dealership, he was asked to perform a driver exchange from Southern Maryland to Big Stone Gap Tennessee. Due to an impending snowstorm the roads were icy with low visibility. J. R. hit ice, went air bound, landed in the forest, and sustained subarachnoid bleeds, multiple hematomas, a collapsed lung, crushed a portion of his skull, and caused multiple lacerations resulting in his traumatic brain injury (TBI). Over time, J. R. relearned how to eat, drink, talk, walk, etc. His family was told he would be a vegetable and require life-long non ambulatory care for the remainder of this life. Focused on more, TBI Guy rose up and exceeded doctors’ expectations throughout post-trauma recovery.
Since then, J. R. has attended college resulting in massage therapy and physical training certification. He is once more looking at 2024 courses. An avid reader, J. R. studies a variety of unique topics apart from disability awareness. He enjoys PlayStation and volunteers when asked.
