He s spent the last seven years overcoming his own challenges while encouraging other trauma victims.
Now, a statewide organization is recognizing his strength, compassion, and perseverance.
From hiking 7,000 feet up Tehachapi Mountain to skiing down the slopes, 32-year-old Burriel has taken his life back after almost losing it seven years ago. They gave me a 30% chance to survive my accident, Burriel says.
Burriel was forced to re-learn basic life skills after becoming the victim of a fight outside the Elbow Room in late 2013 that left him clinically dead for 25 minutes.
