Bringing high energy, enthusiasm, his unique brand of "Dad" humor, and years of experience and expertise as a speaker, facilitator, mentor, and coach, Dave engages people from all backgrounds and walks of life to actively work for and achieve the change they'd like to see.
A life-long learner with degrees from Cornell University and CU-Boulder, Dave never stops studying, training, or expanding his comprehension and mastery of a wide variety of subjects from ancient Chinese religion and thought to modern day applicable concepts like Emotional Intelligence and Growth mindset. Blended into everything he does is the foundational knowledge and truths he's gleaned from decades of studying ancient masters, like Sunzi, Laozi, and Confucius, combined with principles from contemporary masters like Tony Robbins, Brene Brown, and Eddie Pinero. This exceptional and uncommon perspective enlivens age-old, timeless issues that trip people up and keep them from winning. Lack of direction, confidence, and accountability can combine with settling for less than a person is capable and worthy of, for which David offers the support and scaffolding people can utilize to propel themselves toward the life they want. Filled with warmth and empathy gained from personal experience and overcoming struggle, Dave is able to draw an audience into the lessons and truths he teaches with authenticity and candor.
David helps people tap into their unique "why", utilize their talents and passions, and leverage their individual motivation styles to help them gain insights and momentum toward the life they want to live. David is experienced in and enjoys working with people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests and has had focused experience working with teen guys, young adults, and mid-life males.
David's ultimate goals are threefold -- to uncover, recover, and discover:
1. Uncover: To help people uncover their true identity and embrace their place in the universe as unique treasures free from limiting beliefs and labels.
2. Recover: To assist people as they recover their self-worth and ground it in their identity instead of their performance to recover their infinite potential and possibility.
3. Discover: To guide people as they discover their unique gifts and passionately pursue their personal purpose on this planet.
