Why Milton?
Milton Anthony considers himself to be a "man of many contrasts." He is a martial artist, firearms specialist, K-9 trainer and Harley-Davidson mechanic. He's also a former "bad boy biker!" His world suddenly changed when, after several failed tries, an attempt on his life (in the form of a bomb) left him in a condition that, to most people, probably would have "been the end of the line!" Milton had those very thoughts himself, especially when he was told by professionals that he was "beyond rehabilitation."
But unlike others, he chose not to give up. He chose instead to use resources available to him – resources within himself and within others. He chose a path that didn’t lead him back to where he was when the explosion occurred, but instead, to a place of his dreams. Once making his decision, he began a journey that would deliver him to a place he had dreamed of as a young teenager, but had actually never been. A place where he could help hundreds... maybe thousands... quite possibly hundreds of thousands of people make their own decisions, beating all the odds against them and turn their lives into something of which they too had only dreamed! That place is right here and right now.
Milton loves sharing his experiences and insights he learned along the way, helping others find their own strength, focus, intestinal fortitude and achieve goals they never before thought possible.
While Milton relates his story, he articulates the lessons learned from his life, especially from the trauma that in the beginning, left him little more than a bloody mass on a hospital bed. He tells his tale in such a way that captures the hearts and minds of his audience by gently weaving humor into a very somber experience, while driving home several "motivating points." He encourages them to first, take stock of themselves, then to realize they possess, like him, the same qualities of faith, hope and determination, needed to achieve virtually anything they want.
Milton leaves his audiences thinking and believing in a new-found knowledge: that they two can overcome incredible odds, achieve unachievable goals or, on a less grandiose scale, at least live their lives and be in control of their reactions to the events happening within them.
His story is, to say the least quite remarkable, if not downright incredible!! But Milton conveys his story in a way so the audience does not just "hear him," they are "with him" every step of the way. Seeing, hearing and feeling what he saw, heard and felt, before and after the trauma. Find out for yourself just how good of a "storyteller" Milton really is!
