On November 24, 2021, Chris Smith's life was forever changed when he was shot in the head and left for dead after going on a first date with a woman whose ex-boyfriend carried out the attack.
Against overwhelming odds, Smith survived. A 9mm hollow-point bullet remains lodged in Smith's frontal lobe.
This horrific act became the catalyst for an extraordinary journey of resilience, determination, and recovery. Through immense physical, emotional, and mental challenges, Smith rebuilt his life and discovered a powerful purpose: to help others find strength, hope, and perspective through adversity. His story is featured in Netflix's "Fatal First Date."
