Growing up in poverty and in an abusive home David Boutsomsy poured his energy into athletics. While running track and playing football in high school he was introduced to Powerlifting by a teacher. David would join the Delaware State University Football team and unsuccessfully try out for the NFL and Arena league before going all-in on bench press. The pain of David’s childhood would fade away when in 2016 he broke a world record and accepted a gold medal while representing the United States at the Pan America championships in Costa Rica. This isn’t just a story about an accomplished athlete, David is a survivor, and gives back every day through his job as a South Bend police officer and dedicated father.
