It is my honor and privilege to accept ACRM’s Gold Key award. I thank the members of the Awards Committee for selecting me. It is certainly an immensely proud and humbling experience for me. I especially want to thank my mentor, the late Dr. Charles Matthews, who always helped and guided me with knowledge, experience, expertise, and kept me motivated to achieve my goals. I also wish to extend my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all my colleagues in the Brain Injury ISIG, without their help and support over many years, this honor would not have been possible. Thank you, again.
