Victory 4 Youth

Electrifying school assembly program using feats of strength and stories of Victory to help students of ALL ages to overcome many of todays tough issues they are facing (bullying, drugs/alcohol, self esteem, self worth and more). As a powerful visual demonstration of how the seemingly impossible can be accomplished, Dean opens each assembly by performing astonishing “feats of strength.” Whether it

’s using his teeth to bend a steel bar, shattering a baseball bat over his leg, or rolling a frying pan with his hands, students and faculty are riveted by his demonstrations of physical strength. Growing up with no father, Dean knows first-hand what it is to be lost with no hope for a future and full of pain. He understands the struggle of students today who are lacking leadership and guidance and how that void shows itself through hurt, anger and low self-esteem. Struggling throughout middle and high school, Dean entered his young adult years believing that life is pain and pain is life until he had given up on all hope for a bright future. He has turned those struggles into victories and is a true believer in the power of a dream. Today, Dean travels across the country and around the world delivering, to students, the inspiration and encouragement he wished was given to him to pursue his purpose with a passion. Dean tackles the tough issues facing today’s youth such as bullying, poor self-image and overcoming adversity in a radical and relevant way that students are saying, "you're telling us everything our parents and teachers have been saying but in a way we can relate to it!"
