Hi, I'm Duane,
I’m passionate about helping young people see their worth, unlock their potential, and believe their lives have purpose. Too many students silently battle hopelessness and despair. My mission is to fight youth suicide by showing them they are seen, valued, and needed.
My goal isn’t just to inspire, it’s to save lives. Every young person deserves to know their story isn’t over and that they were created on purpose, for purpose, with purpose.

Duane’s presentation at our student assembly was incredibly inspiring and impactful. His story and message resonated deeply with our students. He challenged the students to think differently, dream bigger, and believe in themselves. I believe our students left the assembly feeling motivated and empowered, and I know that his words will stay with them long after today.
He showed our students and staff the power of our thoughts and words in shaping our reality. This is something our students can use to start incorporating daily affirmations into their routine, and all feel more confident and optimistic about their future.
