As chronicled in his book, David has been designated as an Enemy of the State by his own government and is no longer welcome back in the United States, as the FBI continues their unconstitutional spy campaign against him. David became disillusioned by the globalist American Empire´s unpatriotic treatment toward U.S. citizens. Convinced of an impending collapse of the American Society due to the increasing negative influence and corrupt collusion of Globalist U.S. Corporations and Globalist U.S. Government; David left America in 2010 and moved to China, where he has worked in Risk Management advising clients on Strategic Threat Intelligence, as well as conducting security operations, corporate investigations and due diligence. He also worked for both Amazon and Boeing; leading their Corporate Crisis Management Departments overseeing all of Asia. He is the Founder and CEO of Terebinth Leadership Advisory.

David was a Special Agent with the FBI assigned to the National Security Branch where he worked Foreign Counterintelligence. Trained in Human Intelligence, David has applied this tradecraft to the concepts of Leadership and Risk Management. In every organization, People will be both the greatest Asset and the greatest Liability. The greatest danger to a person, organization, or country is indeed the insider-risk. By embracing the leadership principles of Loyalty to Family-Organization-Country and instilling Faith in people by way of Religion-Philosophy-Spirituality; this insider-risk can best be mitigated. Every people, organization, and country need to establish and reaffirm a strong Ethos of Morality in order to maintain Trust within the ranks and society. Neglecting vigilance of Ethos will ultimately mark the decline and destruction of the people through deceit and betrayal. Never underestimate the insider threat.
U.S. Army
David is the 12th person in the history of the United States to earn an Officer Commission by both West Point and Army ROTC. While in the Army, he attained the rank of Captain and was stationed in Baumholder, Germany with the 1st Armoured Division where he deployed to Kosovo with NATO under Operation Allied Forces. He later served at the U.S. Army European Headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany where he was tasked with Force Protection and Counterterrorism; as the deputy officer of the Emergency Operations Center, he assumed this post just two weeks before the 9/11 Terrorist attacks, and thus was immersed in Crisis Management at the international level. The lessons of leadership that David has learned from his time in the military can be summed up with three distinct traits all leaders must possess in order to achieve success: Courage, Intelligence, and Loyalty.
Martial Arts
David began his martial arts journey through the study of a Chinese Boxing practice called Wing Chun 咏春. While a cadet at West Point he transitioned to Western Boxing, becoming the Co-Captain and Heavyweight Boxer of the West Point Boxing Team. He would go on to become the Two-Time U.S. All-Armed Forces European Heavyweight Boxing Champion. He was the Assistant Boxing Coach to the University of San Francisco and also the Harvard University Boxing Teams. While in China, he became the assistant boxing coach to the first ever Chinese professional world boxing champion Xiong Zhao Zhong 熊朝忠. He then opened up a white collar Boxing Gym in Beijing teaching the Sweet Science to beginners and amateur fighters. Through martial arts and boxing, David attests to the value that this training brings to leadership development. If one is to become a leader, then one must learn how to fight.
China Hand
Since childhood David has been interested in China; studying the Chinese Philosophy of Daoism, the Martial Arts of Wing Chun, and the health and healing concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 1995 he began his formal study of Mandarin Chinese Language while a cadet at West Point. He later completed a Graduate Degree in Chinese Studies at the University of San Francisco. David’s ambition to become a China expert propelled him in 2010 to move to China. While in China, he has travelled to every province except Tibet. David`s work in China focused on Risk Management providing both Security-Crisis and Investigations-Compliance support. He has worked for a variety of firms in China to include both the Boeing and Amazon Corporations. He has given lectures at the Beijing National Police Academy. David is business fluent in Mandarin Chinese (both oral and written).
God & Ethics
David combines both Judaism and Daoism in his spiritual journey toward understanding God, Man, and Nature. David is adamant that through leadership, one must become grounded in Religion, Spirituality, or Philosophy. Much of David’s leadership concepts and teachings come from man’s relationship with Fear-Courage and Ethics-Faith. David is adamant in his position that the fall of the western world is primarily due to the abandonment of Christianity. Without Christianity and without European People, there will no longer be an America or western world. David is a staunch Nationalist as well as a Capitalist, however the current trend of corporate crony capitalism has corrupted America to the point of atheism. Through globalism, America continues to abandon its moral compass for the pursuit of profits and greed. America must return to Faith, Family, and Freedom; otherwise collapse and revolution are inevitable.
Political Dissident
Detailed in his book, David is still under investigation by the corrupt FBI for allegations regarding National Security. However the truth behind this unconstitutional spy campaign against him; is that the FBI is persecuting him for his conservative political ideology. David has stated adamantly that the greatest threat to America is not from China or another foreign adversary, however it is from the American Globalist Corporations and the American Globalist Government. David has been ignored by all the politicians and mainstream media, he has also been censored on social media. David has never committed any illegal activities and continues to demand the U.S. Government to stop hiding and to answer his allegations of Government Corruption. David is still not welcome back in America, because the government deems it justified to Detain, Search, Interrogate, Surveil, Humiliate, Deceive, and Assault him.
