The Soccer Sidelines (Dripped)

David started his coaching adventure in 2010 as a soccer dad who volunteered literally from my lawn chair on the sidelines of his kid's game. More than a decade, many licenses, and a host of industry experiences later, he's here to shorten the learning curve and show you the common thread that binds these 15 development years.
A former multi-sport athlete himself, David swam, ran track, did gymnastics, played soccer, hockey, little league baseball, wrestled, and played lacrosse. As a Navy veteran, he swam with Navy SEALs (his training was in medicine, not being a SEAL), and managed many types of injuries and patient care situations. As a professional, he gave 20 years to DoD and left service as a GS-343-15 with three divisions of employees. He's served as program manager, the Navy Medical Logistics CIO, the Military Healthcare System Chief for Defense Business Transformation, and is currently an investment banker/consultant who serves to help business owners, operators and capital providers with capital placement, capital structuring, and consulting services.
Some of the positions he's held in the soccer community: father of two great multi-sport kids, coach, director for recreation, director for academy, director of coaching, registrar, uniform coordinator, SSL coordinator, field and equipment manager, marketing and communications director, treasurer, partnerships manager, and host of this show.
David's passion is for learning, for serving, and for elevating the human experience through sharing knowledge and mutual alignment of interests. He studied English writing as an undergrad and Knowledge Management in Grad school through the GWU school of engineering.
