Of course my belief in God changed the trajectory of my life.
I needed a healthy outlet back in 2010 when I injured my rotator cuff lifting weights in prison and was released homeless.
I found a Krav Maga school in Denver a few blocks from the shelter I was staying. Scrounged up enough money to sign up for a months worth of classes and at 40 years old took my first class. My life would forever change.
By 2013 I would earn my first level one instructor certification, start my own Krav Maga business and brought the first Krav Maga class the Roaring Fork Valley.
