About David Anthony Schroeder

It All Started, 1963

David Schroeder was born on August 23, 1963, in Appleton, WI. Depending on how you look at it, David was blessed or cursed with supernatural amounts of energy. Doctors prescribed him Ritalin and left him to be a lifeless couch potato.

At the age of seven, he suffered his first injury, riding downhill on a Banana bike with the high handlebars and the stick shift between his legs. It would be one of his earliest injuries, one that would plague him for the entirety of his life.

High-Octane Activities

Despite being on Ritalin, David still needed an outlet. As he moved into his teens, David discovered and loved BMX and skateboarding, activities fraught with injuries from having fun, and just being wild and carefree.

As he got older, he got heavily into martial arts, then mountain biking, roller/street blading. No matter what he did, he was always finding ways to injure himself.

What Works Becomes A Book

The world thinks in terms of events, economic events, catastrophic events, etc. David has what he terms "pain events." An "event" may last a few days, in most cases, weeks or months, and in some cases years.

A friend in the cannabis industry gave David a "CBD" pain stick. Expecting it to be nothing more than another "Ben-Gay" rub-on ointment, long story short, it would change the course of his life. Of course, then he had to wade through all the falsehoods and claims, only to end publishing the #1 CBD pain management book for chronic pain sufferers.
