Blind since birth, Michael Hingson was born to sighted parents who raised him with a can-do attitude.
Always a high achiever, Michael learned how to ride a bike, and was able to do advanced math in his head!
He received a Master’s Degree in Physics, and a Secondary Teaching Credential. Michael worked for high-tech companies in management until September 11, 2001 when he and his guide dog Roselle escaped from the 78th floor of Tower One in the WTC.
Thrust into the international limelight, Michael began to share lessons of trust, courage, and teamwork based on this experience.
Mike is the author of the #1 NY Times Bestseller “Thunder dog,” selling over 2.5 million copies, and his 2nd book “Running with Roselle, A story for Our Youth.”
