Today I am honored to introduce you to Casey David, an aspiring film director as well as a self defense instructor from Los Angeles, CA. He has been given a second chance at life and is embracing it to its fullest. You would never know that he joined a gang at 12 years old and was eventually sentenced to 31 years in prison. Casey had me smiling from the minute we met. He's one of those people who has smiley eyes and smiles as he talks, which is contagious and makes you smile as you listen. He has a huge heart full of optimism, compassion, and joy. But that is only because he walked through the valley of trauma, pain, and loss. Casey's transformation happened because someone looked past his tough-guy facade and saw who he was at his core, believed in him, and ultimately changed his life. Casey lives every day giving back and being that person to those around him. He knows the power of second chances.
