David was first arrested at age eleven.\\xa0 Over the following eight years,\\xa0David was further seduced by a dark street life racked with violence, drugs and money.\\xa0 What started as desperate measures to feed his family of six turned into a criminal lifestyle.\\xa0\\xa0Windecher\\xa0joined a gang, sold dope, built and masterminded a crime ring and was arrested 13 times.
David Lee\\xa0Windecher\\xa0risked his life and the lives of his family to leave the gang.\\xa0 He beat the self-imposed negative cycle of street life through sheer will and commitment to be better. He vanquished self-doubt and conquered his deep fears of fitting in at school to pursue an education.
