You don’t have to ... ask Jeff Sebell.
Jeff was in a serious car accident the summer before his junior year at Bowdoin College in Maine, where he was a James Bowdoin Scholar. He was left comatose for a month with an extremely severe closed head injury that required many months of hospitalization and rehabilitation. Miraculously, Jeff returned to Bowdoin just three months later taking nearly a full course load. He graduated one semester late and then moved to Colorado where he became a disk jockey and music director at KLGT, the Light of Summit County. Two years later, he moved back East and joined the family business, where he worked in sales for 25 years. Jeff’s journey is an inspirational story of nearly 30 years of determination and growth in the face of great odds, and of perserverance when there seemed to be no hope.
