The word that best describes Byrd Baggett is original.  His story is unlike any other, as he speaks from experience.

He was an All-American athlete at the University of Texas, had successful careers with two Fortune 500 companies, and then the bottom fell out of his life!

During a five-year period, his mother died - his best friend died - he spent three days in cardiac intensive care – he was a passenger in a plane that lost power and dropped 16,000 feet over the Rocky Mountains - he was downsized from an executive position at the age of 42.  Finally, he and his family lost all their possessions in a bizarre moving van fire.

That’s when he decided that things needed to change!
