I started playing with Photoshop and building websites in 1996. I graduated from high school in 1999 and began a graphic design degree at Louisville Tech.
On May 9, 2002 I was rear-ended by a semi truck while going to a car show. The wreck injured my spinal cord, resulting in paralysis from the neck down. While in rehab I learned to use the computer again using a head controlled mouse. When I got home from the hospital I started to build websites again.
Since my spinal cord injury I have volunteered a lot of time to building websites for non-profit organizations. I have received several awards and special mentions for my volunteering efforts. I’m extremely honored to be a part of so many great organizations.
In 2010 I founded the Michael Feger Paralysis Foundation Inc., something I had been dreaming about for 8 years. The Michael Feger Paralysis Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that provides assistance to people effected by spinal cord injury and disease. Our mission is to raise awareness about spinal cord injury and disease through education. Provide assistance to people who have a spinal cord injury and disease. Help them move forward in a life of independence, health and personal fulfillment.
