After tragically losing his father as a child, David Wootten lived a lost and reckless life of rebellion as a teen and young adult that ultimately led to joining the Army. A career ending injury in Iraq coupled with struggles with PTSD, alcohol and drugs left him on the verge of losing his family and even his life. It wasn't until a pastor introduced David to the sport of archery and to a God he thought had abandoned him that he finally found the love, peace and purpose he had been searching for.
