Steven Downey: uTusk, Everest, and offering it up

Creativity. Passion. Execution. Everything about Steven is big. And above all else, his ability to execute on his dreams.

In 2011, Steven returned from combat duty in Iraq, and faced a new set of challenges: PTSD, anxiety, depression, and weight gain.

And while he was deployed he lost his mother.

Many people would be crushed by the circumstances he faced. But, in his own words, “People give up too easily. The day you’re satisfied, you’re done.”

Today, Steven is the co-founder and president of the revolutionary fitness platform, uTusk. And he is climbing to Everest Basecamp to bring awareness to veteran suicides.
