Dr. Jake VanLandingham is the Founder and President of Prevacus. As a Florida State University undergraduate, Dr. VanLandingham participated in directed studies in neurosciences under noted FSU biology professor Marc Freeman. He was a month away from starting a degree program in physical therapy at Florida A&M University when his world abruptly changed, and neurology and physical therapy took on a far more personal meaning, After nearly losing his life to his own TBI, his recovery was strenuous, leaving him with short-term amnesia for a year following the injury. 

He was fortunate to have recovered from his brain injury and shows no visible signs of lingering effects. Many, primarily young people, injured in motor vehicle accidents do not survive or face a lifetime of disability. He is the perfect person to be working in this line of study because he can, better than most, identify with what they are going through. See: prevacus.com
