Join me in conversation today as we meet Michael Gershe, an Author, Speaker, Educator and most importantly a survivor. In the blink of an eye, Michael's life would change forever. On a drive home, a drunk driver t-boned the family and forced their car into a pole splitting it in half. 

Micheal just 8 weeks old was in the front seat lying in a bassinet, his mother in the middle, his father driving and his brother sound asleep in the back seat.

The family was extracted from the car and rushed to a hospital where Michael's mother succumbed to her injuries the next day. Micheal's father recovered and his brother did not suffer any injuries.  

As for Michael, almost every bone in his body was broken or fractured and he had a skull fracture that went around the back of his head, from ear to ear. Micheal has made a full recovery. 

Michael and his family moved from New York to Florida and both Michael and his brother became competitive swimmers. Michael went on to graduate from University, become a stand-up comic and a speaker presenting on the topic of impaired driving
