David M Butler

Born, 2.7.1965 in Wichita, KS. I grew up in Alton, IL, Terra Haute, IN, and from third grade, Waukon, IA. Graduated in 1983, and attended the University of Northern Iowa, running varsity indoor track for my first year, and graduated in 1988. Got a job in El Paso, TX, teaching middle school math for 13 years in the Ysleta ISD. Moved to Tempe, AZ the summer of 2001, and taught MS math and science through 2005. Became addicted to crack the beginning of July in 2004, and arrested on 3.1.2005 for possession of crack after leaving school in the early morning to score some crack for later after work. In 2010 I was going to commit suicide, and that’s when I saw the light of the Holy Spirit on 12.24.2010 at midnight mass. That radiant light changed my life forever.
