Before Steve Ehretsman stopped for breakfast in the early morning hours of April 25, 2001, he was another young, ambitious marketing executive on his way to even bigger things. Success and excellence were part of his every day mantra -as a Division I college basketball team captain and in various national and local sports and entertainment marketing roles for Coca-Cola and Anheuser-Busch Companies - he was used to accomplishing his goals. When he was hit by a car as he left the restaurant that morning, he couldn’t have known how the course of his life would be altered or the ways that the events of the coming months would change his body and mind and ultimately set him on a new and profoundly different path.
After the loss of his right leg at the knee, a month long stay in the hospital, 12 surgeries, a dire depression and the struggle to find sensitive and knowing physicians to help him, Steve began to accept that many of the circumstances of his life would be immeasurably different, and through his recovery process, he discovered he could inspire others.
Steve will be the featured speaker at a luncheon on Saturday, February 12 at the Marriott Century Center Hotel, sponsored by the local chapters of the AHEPA Family, a Greek American organization whose mission focuses on the Hellenic ideals of Education, Philanthropy, Civic Responsibility, and Family and Individual Excellence.
