The Tragedy of Distracted Driving – A Father’s Story

Kyle Simpson and his family were on a staycation in North Conway, NH when an accident resulting from distracted driving killed his 8-year-old son, Gabe.  In a powerful performance, Kyle shares a deeply personal journey, exploring his emotional response to the harrowing moments that forever changed his family and lives of more people than he could possibly have imagined before he set out to understand and combat the problem.

Alongside his work as an evangelist for safe driving, Kyle works for a nonprofit helping students find a path after high school, a calling in which he practices giving young people his undivided attention.  He loves to talk about his nontraditional path to college and the turns and twists that led him to become one of this country’s foremost advocates for ending distracted driving.
