Dave has experienced a truly extraordinary life. He nearly died several times
by the hands of his mentally disturbed alcoholic mother. Years later it was
determined that Dave's case was identified as one of the most gruesome
and extreme cases of child abuse in California's then history. At age 12
Dave was finally rescued and placed in a series of foster homes until he
enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at age 18. Even with all that was against him,
Dave was determined to better himself - no matter what the odds.
Dave is the author of seven inspirational books. His latest book, Moving
Forward assists people to move beyond life's trials and realize their potential
is limitless. A Child Called It has been on the New York Times Best Sellers
List for over 6 years. As an author, Dave is the first to have to have four # 1
International Best Sellers.
