Colonel, USAF
Thank you for taking the time to share your amazing story with Team MacDill. Events like LIFTx, with speakers like you, are exactly what we need at this time of tribulation for our nation's military. Resiliency is a constant goal and your message that resiliency is not something you say but something you are and what you do greatly resonated. Your words and motivation will play a huge part in creating that needed change of culture to combat the war we are fighting against an invisible enemy. You have my deepest appreciation for every sacrifice you have made and the support you show for our Airmen.

Since knowing David, a few words pop into mind immediately. Authentic, Passionate, and Leader! When I had the opportunity to see him speak, it was evident that he was truly excited and passionate about helping others succeed and sharing his expertise. His energy is contagious on his weekly radio show "Auto Dealer Live." If you haven't had the opportunity to work with or meet David yet, then you should!
