Victor Marx

At 5 years old he was molested and stuffed in a commercial cooler to die. At 7, he had a new stepfather who would put a gun to his head, with the hammer pulled back, practically everyday. Another stepfather would dunk him in the tub filled with water and made him hold his breath until he passed out. He wrote a book about his childhood to encourage kids in trouble and he ministers to encarcerated juveniles. And now there's a film about his life which premiered in California and sold out 4 times more than the Hunger Games. The pain and torture he went through drove him to become the fastest gun disarm man. When you listen to his story, you'd wonder how he survived at all. Jesus. "Jesus walked into my pain and tortured mind and redeemed my past." By the way, his wife is also a blackbelt Martial arts instructor.
