Rhett Brown
Biography
Prior to his accident, author Rhett Brown worked in a variety of jobs, including police
officer, antique furniture restorer, forest service hunter, banker, butcher, handyman
and small-time farmer. He now lives with four full-time caregivers and requires a
wheelchair to get around.
‘My simple presence is a stark reminder that we are not bulletproof,’ says Rhett. ‘And
a reminder to those who have fallen – in some way or other - that as mere mortals we
possess an immeasurable power to get back up again and get on with living life to the
full.’
