D. R. Saenz

D. R. Saenz is an author, ordained minister, and inspirational speaker whose life defies every medical prediction made about him. Believed to be the only known person walking today without a rebuilt pelvis — surviving on antibiotic beads and compensatory tissue built over two decades of daily physical therapy — Saenz declined hospice in 2019, stopped all pharmaceuticals in 2020, and is still here.

He is the author of 11 books, including The 28th File: A Memoir of Defiance, a raw and unflinching account of survival, faith, and the refusal to quit. His story has taken him from the edge of death to the stage, where he speaks to medical professionals, faith communities, schools, and corporations about resilience, defiance, and the power of God-driven purpose.

God first. Always.
