Esfandiar Beikmohammadi (he/him) is a former aerospace engineer turned content creator, known for sharing his powerful journey of healing on Instagram (@envisionedesfandiar) with over 5,000 followers and posts reaching millions. In June 2024, Esfandiar sustained a Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) after being hit by a car, leading to a coma and extensive recovery. He’s relearned how to walk, talk, and move—especially with his right side, affectionately nicknamed “Righty.”A passionate athlete, Esfandiar completed six half Ironmans, one full Ironman, and a 100k ultramarathon before his injury—and is now training for endurance races in his new body. His greatest triumph, however, is finding his soulmate, Kelly.

He dreams of becoming an inspirational speaker, writing a book, launching a whole-food plant-based brand, and racing globally. Outside his recovery and advocacy, Esfandiar enjoys reading, volunteering at an animal shelter, and learning piano—with Righty leading the way.
