Israel Del Toro Jr. – A Man of His Word
Israel Del Toro Jr.’s story is one of unbreakable resilience. After losing both parents young, he vowed to care for his family — then life tested him in unimaginable ways. As an Air Force airman, he survived a devastating IED explosion in Afghanistan, suffering burns on 80% of his body. Doctors gave him a 15% chance to live — but Del Toro wasn’t done fighting. He defied expectations, recovered, reenlisted, and won gold at the Invictus Games. Now, he’s a motivational speaker, veteran advocate, and inspiration to all. Dive into his incredible journey of perseverance — because some promises are too powerful to break.
Meet Israel Del Toro Jr.
“I felt this kind of 'curse' my entire life," he explains. "Whenenver something good happened, something bad seemed to follow. After my accident, I realized the importance of finding a spark to lift myself and others out of dark moments. None of us can do life on our own.”

BUSINESS & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS
A REAL BUSINESS PUBLICATION
So. Colorado is one of the steadiest and most concentrated economic development regions in the United States.
From aerospace and defense, to advanced manufacturing, to cybersecurity and dozens of other industry sectors, So. Colorado is now home to US SPACE COMMAND, five active military installations, and multiple industry clusters with a tremendous focus on workforce, education, and our nation’s security.
It’s also home to the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee, USOPC Training Center, UCOPC Museum, and 25 National Governing Bodies making it a prime destination for businesses in the amateur and collegiate sports industries.
THE MILITARY
Our military is one of the pillars of this unique community and its success.
Home to five active military installations – more than any other community in the US – we love our active duty and retired Service Members and Cadets and we want to show our appreciation through SOCO Digest each and every month.
We’re also keen to support the industries that support our military and space endeavors. Learn how your organization can join the conversation and be seen by others in this diverse and sophisticated business and innovation ecosystem.
ECONOMIC STRENGTH
Colorado Springs is the 39th largest GDP in the United States. Combine that with the surrounding communities of Pueblo, Monument, Canon City, Castle Rock and dozens more towns, So. Colorado is positioned perfectly to build and thrive various industries.
