After his accident Tom had to rethink everything and figure out how adapt to life after his spinal injury.
While he was unable to work for the first year, he returned to school and learned 3D Drafting. On his return to work his boss gave him the opportunity to prove he could still work in the shop.
With new skills in hand from school, Tom returned to work. There were changes that had to be made but his boss was encouraging and supportive. He lowered his work bench and added a lift to it as well, attached a thumb control to his welding machine and proved he could still accomplish all he was able to do before his accident and more.
