He chose to fight and not become a statistic. Dusty is not a victim of cancer, he's a survivor! Choosing a warrior's mentality, Dusty was determined to defy the odds. This is an inspiring book about one man's unrelenting human spirit. It's about faith, family, courage, and hope-and how you can face adversity head on to overcome obstacles!"

-TIM ALLEN, Executive Associate Assistant Director, University of Central Florida

"I love Dusty's six-part framework for fighting cancer. He focused on 'Faith over Fear' to make his plan actionable, and I plan to apply his framework to my own life with respect to overcoming my own challenges. Through his story, Dusty teaches us that by being vulnerable and inviting others into the battle with you, you don't have to go through it alone. Too many times in life we suffer in silence out of pride or masculinity. Dusty's story showed me how powerful we can be when we can accept support."

-DEAN BRODY, Founder and CEO, REVEL Moments

"This book was written with unsparing honesty and emotional truths.Dusty's pancreatic cancer diagnosis came as a complete shock to me and his friends, and over a three-year period, we watched an unbelievable series of challenges unfold for him and his family. Ultimately, Dusty's story is an uplifting reminder for all of us to stay focused on what is most important in our lives. To say he and his family are "beating the odds" is a complete understatement-Dusty is not just alive, he's living a life that's thriving!"
