At 20 years old, Kenneth Kunken suffered a devastating spinal cord injury while playing football at Cornell University, leaving him nearly paralyzed from the shoulders down.

From engineer to lawyer to Assistant District Attorney for over 40 years, Ken’s story is about resilience, identity, and redefining strength after everything is stripped away. We talk about the mental war after trauma, the unseen battles of recovery, family, legacy, and what it really means to rebuild when life doesn’t go as planned. This isn’t motivation. This is reality.
