The Injured List Podcast® w/special guest Mike Dempsey
On this Episode we are joined by Mike Dempsey. The word’ resiliency’ defines the journey of Mike Dempsey. Mike Dempsey was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York (Flatbush / Kensington) attending Midwood High School and graduating from the State University of New York at Albany where he played both football and baseball. An Arena Football League opportunity ended prematurely for Mike with the first of two ACL reconstructive surgeries and he later was forced to abandon his professional football hopes and dreams after a failed rehabilitation and comeback with Tampa Bay in the summer of 1995. After an aborted attempt with World Championship Wrestling’s Power Plant training facility ended prematurely later that year, Mike then embarked on a brand new career direction in banking and risk management.
While working for Credit Suisse First Boston in 5 World Trade Center, Mike was injured and hospitalized at NYU’s Beekman Hospital on September 11th, 2001 while trying to escape the second Tower when the second plane hit the Tower directly over him at 9:03am. Shortly thereafter, Mike became immersed in philanthropy and advocating for September 11th families and survivors through the WTC United Family Group and the Coalition of 9/11 Families.
On October 1st, 2017, Mike was in Las Vegas, Nevada for filming of an episode of the Animal Planet hit television show “Tanked” and was staying at the Mandalay Bay hotel during the Route 91 concert mass shooting and was outside the hotel when the shots were fired and ended up in lockdown during the chaos. Mike channeled his September 11th and Las Vegas experiences with PTSD, etc to help other victims and survivors’ families cope with their ‘new normal.’
Mike currently serves as NFL Alumni Carolinas Chapter player engagement coordinator serving causes such as Shriners Hospital, ALS, etc.
