HOW TO RISE ABOVE INSURMOUNTABLE ODDS AND FLOURISH

I am a 62 year old native Denverite who enjoyed a profitable 30 year career as a stock market trader.  Unfortunately, I allowed greed to infect my moral and ethical compass which ultimately resulted in a 15 year sentence in the Colorado Dept. of Corrections.  Six weeks into my sentence I was afflicted with a deadly flesh eating disease that kills or maims most of its victims.  After my lengthy recovery, I made what has become the best decision of my life.  Rather than wallow in anger and self-pity, I chose to embrace my prison sentence.

I became a tutor, helping over 100 inmates obtain their GED.  I am dedicating the rest of my life to inspire others to believe with fierce determination and hard work, a person can rise above seemingly insurmountable obstacles and not only survive, but thrive.
