About Us
MY MISSION
My daughter Hannah was just 17 when she was fatally speared by a guardrail. Hannah lived a purposeful life and sought Justice, loved Mercy, and walked humbly with God. My mission is to honor my Hannah’s life by saving others from the same fate.
I believe in the “Imago Dei”, a theological idea that life has inherent transcendent value because mankind bears the image of the Image Maker. This leads me to work with ANYONE that will help me in an effort to prevent the next fatal guardrail crash. I owe my full fidelity to the next potential guardrail victim.
I am a voice for those afflicted and harmed by guardrails due to the greed of billion dollar corporations and the institutional corruption of regulatory capture at the Federal Highway Administration. My goal now is to rob America’s streets of future guardrail victims from this preventable traffic violence.
Be a part of our struggle to save more lives
frequently asked questions
Because the guardrail my daughter hit had conflicts of interest in testing and FHWA concealed these tests from public viewing. That is why I maintain a YouTube channel dedicated to publicizing crash testing (Link to Guardrail Crash testing library)
Because the guardrail my daughter hit was improperly installed and had the 1st and 3rd posts mixed up.
Because the downstream guardrail my daughter hit was damaged and unrepaired at the time of her crash.
Because parts in the guardrail my daughter impacted contained markings from different manufacturers.
Because it took a series of spectacular spearing
deaths including my daughter’s death to gain attention. That is why I maintain a YouTube channel
dedicated to publicizing video of real world guardrail crashes (Link to Guardrail Crash testing library)
I read the installation manuals! I have no formal experience or training involving guardrails but I read every available resource I can get my hands on.
I have shared Hannah’s story and this guardrail fight in thousands of interviews including CBS, MSNBC, USA TODAY, Washington Post, NBC, and countless other outlets.
Sometimes one at a time and sometimes thousands at a time. I would estimate that my advocacy efforts have led to well over $100 MILLION in guardrail replacements/ repairs across the United States and Canada.
Hannah’s death has informed state and federal legislation including a law designed to force the Federal Highway Administration to rein in the corrupt practice of accepting guardrail crash testing with a conflict of interest.
Hannah was on her way to school and went off the road for unknown reasons. While attempting to return to the roadway her vehicle impacted a X-Lite guardrail which speared into the vehicle killing her instantly. Hannah was completely sober and was not texting at the time of her crash.
