Dan Bigley was blinded by a grizzly bear attack and survived to co-write the bestselling book "Beyond the Bear" with Debra McKinney. Before the bear, he worked with severely emotionally disturbed children, taking them on recreational outings for Alaska Children's Services. After the bear, he earned a master's degree in social work from UAA. Now, Dan travels the country as an inspirational speaker, is the director of therapeutic foster care for Denali Family Services, and received a 2008 Alaskan of the Year Award by the Governor's Committee on Employment and Rehabilitation for People with Disabilities. He's also a talented musician and leader of the Dan Bigley Band, living with his wife, Amber, and two children in Anchorage.
