David Vobora is a former NFL linebacker. He was drafted LAST by the St Louis Rams earning him the title Mr Irrelevant. He did what very few Mr Irrelevants have ever done and that’s earn a starting role in his rookie season. Several years into his successful NFL career, he sustained a significant shoulder injury during a game. The days ahead were overcome by darkness and a growing dependence on pain medication.

Out of the darkness, David conquered his addiction, opened a workout gym in Texas.

HERE’S WHERE EVERYTHING CHANGED:

In January of 2014, David met US Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills, a quadruple amputee. David opened up his personal gym to Travis, offering his training expertise. The pair started working out together, customizing and adapting to the unique challenges posed by Travis’ injuries. Through working with Travis and engaging the veteran community, David developed a passion for helping those with life-altering injuries find life-fulfilling adaptive performance training.
