I Died on my 33rd Birthday


 I was working in the Oil and Gas Industry working on a large triple diesel electric Drilling Rig located in a remote area in the mountains in Alberta, Canada. 

After celebrating my 33rd Birthday the very next morning, I was involved in a major work accident. 

I was between the back end of a dump truck and back end of a loader and subsequently was in a crush zone where I was crushed between the equipment across my abdomen. My abdomen was no bigger than the size of my fist.


It was in these moments I had an out of body experience and made a choice to come back.
