Derek is a vibrant and athletic young adult who recently experienced a life-altering accident. Once a proud football lineman and baseball player, he was known for his strength, teamwork, and perseverance. In December 2024, he survived a devastating car accident that left him with a spinal cord injury and a new reality: quadriplegia.

Through incredible resilience and faith, Derek continues to approach each day with the heart of an athlete—determined, positive, and full of hope.

BrightStar Care has the privilege of walking this journey with Derek and his family, and we’re looking for exceptional nurses to join his care team.
