Meaningful Moments in the Aftermath of Gun Violence | Fred Guttenberg | TEDxBocaRaton

On February 14th, my daughter Jaime Guttenberg was murdered at her High School in Parkland Florida. This day has forever transformed my family and our lives. Sadly, what happened to our family is no longer unique. My life since then has become a series of unique and unexpected moments with those who have been a long-time part of my life but also with many new relationships that only exist because of what happened to us. Fred Guttenberg’s professional life includes over a decade of experience in sales and management with Johnson and Johnson, followed by 15 years as an entrepreneur, having built a business that consisted of 19 Dunkin Donuts, which he sold in November 2016. Fred’s brother Michael was one of the original first responders during 9/11 at the WTC. Michael was with a team of doctors who got trapped in the WTC as it collapsed. Amazingly, the room that they hid out in did not collapse. As a result of the ground zero exposure, Michael was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which he battled, along with Fred’s help and support until October 2017, when he passed away. In February of 2018 he was actively looking for a new purpose when Fred and his family were again struck by another National American tragedy; only this one was far worse. His 14-year-old daughter Jaime, a freshman at Marjory Stone Douglas High School was one of 17 victims brutally murdered in the Parkland Florida school shooting. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
