Bio
Ty Stranger-Thorsen
David is one of those highly motivated individuals that will succeed at everything he decides to do. I know him as a Special Operations veteran (NSDQ), a successful author, a creative entrepreneur and a friend. His focus on innovation for the warfighter makes us stronger on the battlefield. Know that you will be well served professionally and personally by interacting with him.
Andrew Colket
David and I met when he was a student at Saint Joseph University's Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV). As the Assistant Director for the program, I was part of the selection process for picking the most promising veteran candidates to attend from across the country. David had an outstanding application and was an easy choice. Once he joined us on our Philadelphia campus, it was clear that David was a bright, energized and budding entrepreneur. He helped lead the class with focused questions and collaboration with his fellow veterans. His final presentation during our venture pitch competition won him praise from our judges. David is a professional and courteous individual, and still upholds the values of military service. His focus on innovation and entrepreneurship will no doubt lead him to great opportunities. I highly recommend David for any business collaboration, future positions, or for anything else he might seek in his professional career.
