Prepare to be inspired by the remarkable resilience of Retired Police Detective Kevin Trees as he joins us on The MisFitNation Show! Kevin's life story is one of triumph over adversity. A former high school football player, Eagle Scout, Marine, and power lifter, Kevin's life took a drastic turn just weeks after receiving the Officer of the Year award for his police department in 2003. A life-changing crash left him for dead on the side of a country road, resulting in the loss of his right leg above the knee after two and a half years and 34 surgeries. Despite this profound setback, Kevin refused to let it define him. He returned to his career as a police officer, where he has since excelled, flying with his department's air unit, working homicides as a detective featured on A&E's First48, and now serving as a police sergeant. Kevin's resilience extends beyond his professional life. He is the author of "The Serious Business of Laughing at Life," a book inspired by his past and present experiences. He has also showcased his talents as an actor in the film "Nothing Without You" and has been featured in various publications and videos. In his spare time, Kevin gives back to his community by coaching little league football, delivering motivational speeches, and mentoring new amputees struggling to come to terms with their injuries. He is also a talented musician, photographer, and artist. Don't miss this opportunity to hear Kevin Trees' incredible story of resilience and determination on The MisFitNation Show.
