Triumph over Tragedy - A Personal Journey

Curtis begins this presentation by leading his audience through the early years of his life, through to his teenager years, where the young teen from small town Saskatchewan had his life heading exactly where he had always dreamed it would take him, with an opportunity to play Jr Hockey. Instead, on his third day of a new job at the age of just 17, Curtis found himself in a battle of life or death as over 40,000 volts of electricity surged through the young teen’s body. Outlining the events and grueling details of the incident, Curtis discusses the impacts of decisions made both organizationally and individually and the affects they have on co-workers, family and friends. Curtis creates an emotional connection, as he takes his audience through a personal journey from the early days in hospital where doctors gave him "no hope" for survival, to a six week coma, followed by a 6 year complete recovery of hospital trips to Chicago and Toronto. Bringing this horrific incident full circle, Curtis closes with a very inspirational message, his amazing attitude and road to a very successful recovery. Let Curtis take you on his emotional journey that you will never forget and that Curtis will forever remember.
