As a college freshman, Marcus Engel was blinded and nearly killed after being struck by a drunk driver. Through hundreds of hours of reconstructive surgery, months of rehab and adaptation to a completely new world, Marcus remained committed to his goals: return to college and recapture life.
Marcus accepted and embraced the challenge. The life lessons he learned on the unexpected journey are now the guiding forces that inspire hundreds of thousands every day.
In 2010, “The Drop”, a short film based on Marcus’ memoir was released and can be viewed for free at www.TheDropMovie.com. He is the co-founder of the I’m Here Movement, a 501(c)3, which is changing the culture of care with two simple words.
Marcus has authored four books.
He holds a B.S. in sociology from Missouri State University and a M.S. in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University in the city of New York.
In 2017, Marcus was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Notre Dame where he teaches pre-meds the art of “being with.”
He lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife, Marvelyne, and his Seeing Eye dog, Winter.
