Summary

Kirk Mote believes "as human beings we are here to find our purpose and be as productive as we can using our talents and gifts. In my view, too many individuals choose comfort over change and settle for far less than they are capable of." Several years ago while attending a presentation about the Holocaust, Kirk saw an older gentleman get up from his chair, shuffle to the door and suddenly collapse, like he was having a heart attack. Kirk's training in CPR saved a life that day and changed his forever.
