A couple of days ago, I received a message via my MySpace account (www.myspace.com/marcusengel) from Lindsay Capobianco, a teacher at my alma mater, Montgomery County R-II High School. She and another teacher, Julie Cobb-Ellis are using my book, After This..., as required reading for their classes. Apparently, the students are digging it and, if teenagers are purposefully trying to read my book, that is about the biggest compliment I can receive! I'd just like to publically thank Mrs. Ellis-Cobb and Ms. Capobianco for believing my words have relevance to the lives of their students. As always, whether you're a student in one of these classes or anyone else, I love to get feedback from readers! Drop a note to:

About Me
- Marcus Engel
- The facts: I’m 32, a professional speaker, author, and Orlando, FL resident. This blog is going to be a little bit of an extension of my web site, marcusengel.com, but with its own personality. Professionally: Here you’ll see a story you can’t get anywhere else. At 18 I was blinded and nearly killed when hit by a drunk driver. Through years of rehab and hours of reconstructive surgery, my goal was to return to college and recapture my life. And I did it. Now, I’m a professional speaker focusing on teaching audiences to overcome adversity, make intelligent choices and see obstacles as opportunities. Through all life experiences I choose to grow, evolve and learn. Now – the important stuff: I love to read, write, play music, explore new restaurants, meet new people, just live every day as if it may be the last. Because it might. Been there, done that, got the t shirt. You can’t sum up About me! in 500 words. No one can. Or, if they can, they’re boring. I’m not. So, read on if you dare. Then drop me e-mail. It’s always way cool to find out who’s out there!
