About the speaker:  Captain Scotty Smiley, a Ranger and combat-diver qualified infantryman, is the Army’s first active-duty, blind officer and its first blind company commander. On April 6, 2005, he lost use of both eyes when a suicide car bomber blew himself up thirty meters in front of Scotty’s Stryker vehicle. Since that day, Scotty Smiley has surfed in Hawaii, skied in Vail, skydived, climbed Mount Rainier, completed a triathlon, and graduated with an MBA from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. The Army Times named Captain Smiley its Soldier of the Year in 2007. In 2008 he won an ESPY as the world’s Best Outdoor Athlete. Scotty, a recipient of the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, recently taught the core course in leadership at West Point and commanded the Warrior Transition Unit at West Point’s Keller Army Medical Center. Captain Smiley was also named a recipient of the Army's prestigious MacArthur Leadership Award.  See more information about Scotty at the links below:
