You may see gaps in my resume and what looks like career path changes. My son was paralyzed by a C5 spinal cord injury just before his sophomore year of high school. He is an excellent student with amazing potential, and it was very important that he be able to regain his independence and live alone on campus when the time came.This became my focus, and he was able to graduate high school with his classmates, and attend one of the top astronomy and astrophysics programs in the country immediately after.
