ABOUT SHAWN FRIEDKIN: Twenty years ago, Shawn Friedkin had it all - he was newly married, excited to start a family, and had a promising future in a successful financial career. Two weeks before his 28th birthday, Shawn's world came crashing down when he was involved in a horrific car crash which left him paralyzed from the chest down. After learning he'd be wheelchair ridden for the rest of his life, Shawn could have given up and spiraled down a destructive path of self-pity, losing any motivation to go forward. Instead, he decided his new disability was not going to define him as a person. As he began to rebuild his life, he realized there were few resources for people in his situation. Frustrated, he founded Stand Among Friends (www.standamongfriends.org), and later opened the name-sake disability center located on Florida Atlantic University's campus.
