Surviving Jay Peak. They Stole His Savings,Not His Spirit

Sixty… Not Out

From English childhood to American chaos — and the spirit to rise again

Born in 1960s England, David Wooding grew up on hard work, humor, and an unshakable belief in moving forward. A successful international modeling career opened doors around the world and helped him build a secure future—until one decision changed everything.

What began as an exciting investment in the American Dream became a nightmare when Wooding was swept into the now-infamous Jay Peak scandal. In a single moment, a lifetime of savings disappeared, forcing him into a fight not just for financial survival, but for dignity, peace of mind, and self-worth.

Told with sharp wit, honesty, and a distinctly British sense of humor, Sixty… Not Out is a powerful memoir about loss, resilience, and starting over when the odds are stacked against you. It’s a story about navigating betrayal and bureaucracy, leaning on family, and discovering that even after life’s hardest blows, your spirit doesn’t have to be broken.

This is not just a story about losing everything—it’s about refusing to stay down.

Life isn’t always what it seems. Behind the smiles and small talk, many of us are quietly carrying pain, sadness, and moments of despair that rarely see the light of day. We become experts at masking it, convincing the world—and sometimes ourselves—that everything is fine. But the truth has a way of waiting patiently beneath the surface. And now, it’s time for me to stop hiding, to be honest about the journey, and finally speak my truth.
