An Epic Journey Through Fear to Courage!

A story of Trauma, Transformation, and Triumph 

 

Keith Deutsch's life has been an incredible journey of resilience and growth, starting from his early years on a small farm in a rural area. At a young age, Keith faced the devastating loss of his father, Ron, who passed away from melanoma in his 30s. The loss introduced him to fear and ignited his knee-jerk emotion,  rage, which quickly evolved into boundless courage.

 

At just 11 years old, Keith completed his first half marathon, finding solace in running and the ability to momentarily escape the pain of missing his father. This marked the beginning of a profound transformation, where Keith learned to channel and fucus his energy into victory.

 

Years later, after witnessing the events of 9/11 while a senior in high school, Keith was inspired to join the Army and become a United States Soldier. His dedication and exceptional performance led to rapidly recieving 5  promotions and numerous awards, including an Army Achievement Ribbon, an Army Commendation Medal, Bronze Star for Valor, and a Purpal Heart Medal presented by President George W. Bush..

 

 

Almost immediately Keith saw the advantage in his injuries, refusing to let anything hold him back. Determined to return to his passion for snowboarding, he innovated a mechanism to ride on his prosthetic leg. His resilience and perseverance caught the attention of the global prosthetics community, where he championed new technologies for the sport and competed on the World Cup tour and in the  Winter X Games for three consecutive years on  prosthetic legs he had a part in developing.

 

Keith's adventurous spirit, never die attitude, and fearless courage have taken him kayaking 250 miles down the Grand Canyon, climbing to the highest point in Europe, racing rally cars at breakneck speeds, as well as scuba diving some of the worlds most beautiful reefs.  Throughout his life, he has harnessed his fears, transforming them into courage, passion, and in the best moments: compassion.  

 

Now, Keith is on a mission to share his incredible journey and inspire others to overcome their fears, unlock their potential, and embrace resilience. He believes that we all possess the power to change the world and invites you to join him on this transformative path.
