He currently serves as the Managing Partner of Design Neuroscience Center, a comprehensive brain injury center involved in the evaluation and treatment of individuals with traumatic brain injury and other neurological disorders. For 25 years, Dr. Nedd served as the Medical Director of Neurological Rehabilitation and Medical Neuro-trauma at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center.

Dr. Nedd completed his medical training at the Kansas City University of Bioscience and Medicine. He received his postgraduate Neurology, Neurological Rehabilitation, and Neuro-Trauma training at the University of Miami - Jackson Memorial Health System.

Dr. Nedd has been at the forefront of issues related to concussions for over 30 years and is involved in the evaluation and treatment of the most complicated cases of patients with this condition. He developed the Brain Hierarchical Evaluation and Treatment (BHET) method, a unique multidimensional approach that considers the hierarchical organization of the brain and how this order is impacted by injury and the recovery process.

He believes that the evaluation and treatment of neurological disorders, including concussions and TBI, should focus on a clearer, hierarchical approach, which would limit misdiagnosing and incorrect treatment, and give those affected a better chance of recovery.
