We are proud to announce that the latest Members Only video project is now available: The Branden Bauer Story. Branden takes viewers through a workday in early 2021 that changed his life forever, as well as the surgeries and lengthy recovery that ensued.
“It can be those (days), the ones that get you, the ones you never see coming,” Bauer said. “It was the last day on earth you ever thought I was going to have an accident.” The events of that day also had an indelible impact on his crew, his boss and his wife, who share their point of view in the video.
Branden said that after his accident, “I kept thinking to myself, I’m so lucky to be alive… I can’t be angry to the fact that God saved my life that day.” He shares his story with others to let them know how quickly things can happen. “In the blink of an eye, your life can be changed.”
His positive attitude is contagious. When interviewed for the video, we asked Branden about the valleys he faced during recovery. There were some, he admitted. “There were times I would just have to keep trying to do something, maybe 30 times, and then (when I would start to get frustrated), I would take a break and try again,” he said.
“Life still goes on. I tell people that all the time,” Branden said. “We’re just super busy as a family, trying to get back to normal life.”
Special thanks to Branden and the folks at United Electric Cooperative in DuBois, Pa., a Safe Electricity member.
