Born to Succeed
August 31, 2017 I was in a rodeo accident in Filer, Idaho. I broke my back and after a 5 1/2 hour surgery, the doctors told me I was paralyzed from the waist down. I was given a 5% chance to ever walk again. Determined to defy the odds, I made it a goal to walk out of the hospital. Less than two months later, I made that goal a reality and nothing has been able to slow me down since.​
​
I want to instill in an individual, a company and the community that they can overcome obstacles and succeed in life through motivation, perseverance, and their Faith.

The Filer High School class of 2018 invited Braxten to speak at its graduation ceremony in May of 2018. His message was very timely and engaging. Of all the graduation speakers Filer has ever had, Braxten's inspirational message stands near the top. In fact, his message was so inspirational and so powerful we asked him to speak to our student body on the 1st day of school. He challenged our students to "Just become 1% better each day." Choosing Braxten as our graduation speaker and having him motivate our students was a great choice.
