David’s expertise on human connection, true synergy and resilience is highly sought after by industries and associations such as the Sandy Hook Promise Group. After the Broward County school shooting, David traveled the states to share the Know The Signs program with over 400,000 middle and high school students, administrators and law enforcement. He has taught new skills to those recently released from prison to empower them to remove the mental blockers holding them back from their greatness. As a representative for the disabled and DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion), David has lent his voice to countless groups and towns to assist in creating healthier, more inclusive communities.

David's Life Purpose is to Explore, Experience and Share. After a major medical mistake, this industry leader found himself in a dark hole, seemingly impossible to escape. In pursuit of relentless forward progress towards his true desire to walk, talk and ‘live’ again, he Flip Flopped his thinking, created a Life by Design, then retook the stage to share the radical path he forged to get from where he was to where he wanted to be…a return to Outrageous Humanness.

The Flip Flop Philosophy is transforming what isn’t working into what we truly desire by turning thoughts and ideas on their head so we can see things differently. This inspires new perspectives and creates new experiences. Exploring what it means to be human in today's world so we can make today's world more human. Humanness is Back in Business!
