Brock Mealer
Brock Mealer grew up in Wauseon, Ohio, and graduated high school in 2003. Brock spent much of his time working at a family construction company, but also enjoyed playing basketball, flying airplanes, and being with family.
A tragic car accident on Christmas Eve 2007, in which a 90 year old man ran a stop sign, left Brock paralyzed from the waist down and took the lives of his father and brother's girlfriend, Hollis. He has persevered through this situation by clinging to faith, and relying on God. Since, Brock finished his college degree in economics at Ohio State, has learned to walk with two canes, and in fall of 2010, lead the Michigan Wolverines onto the field for their home opener. He continued on to walk without canes in his wedding on December 22, 2012, and married the love of his life, Haley.
In the meantime, he continues to work on walking again, sharing his faith, and motivating others to strive for their goals.
