After spending nearly two months in a deep coma, unlikely to survive, Faulkner beat the odds by walking out of the hospital after 103 days and across the stage at his high school graduation two weeks later. He went on to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in economics less than four years after that.
He credits his outcome to the abundant support of his family, friends, as well as the intensive rehabilitation program was fortunate to have been a part of. Today, he is happily married and works as an auditor for NRG Energy, Inc. Outside of his full-time job, he is a frequent guest speaker on the topic of TBI rehabilitation and recovery to students of all ages, nurses and therapists. Faulkner hopes to use his experience to positively impact the current paradigm of neuro-rehabilitation so that it focuses more on individual patients. He has spoken, both in-person and remotely, to these groups since 2013. His resume includes speaking to graduate students in the University at Buffalo (UB) Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) program for the past seven consecutive years, as well as the 2019 commencement ceremonies for both West Seneca West, and East Senior High Schools. \n
