Thomas McDonald was 16 years old in 1971 when a car accident left him a paraplegic.

He has remained in a wheelchair ever since, but his disability never stopped him from working. He worked in customer service and sales for a limousine company for 15 years before landing a position with Verizon Communications in 1999.
