About Me

On March 10th, 2018 God along with the Memorial healthcare system honored me with a second opportunity I will never take for granted. My name is Mario van der Ree III & I am grateful to have survived a hemorrhage stroke caused by a ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM). My goal is to inspire those in need of hope, through my grueling yet miraculous story.

I am a father, husband, as well as a business professional. Currently, I have my marketing degree & certificates from Florida International University.

On my spare time I enjoy my lovely family, traveling, mentoring, shooting skeet, photography, cinematography, and of course video games.

What is a arteriovenous malformation (AVM)?

Why is October so important?
