After completing high school, David enlisted into the United States Army and served his country for over 20 years.
David was in the Army for over 20 years where he completed numerous amounts of training and schooling.

He fell in love with flying, enough that he acquired his pilots license and would go on joyrides in his personally owned plane.
He was also a Baptist Minister, he loved to preach the word of God to the people around him. Planes weren’t the only thing he loved to drive, he also loved to drive motorcycles, to feel the air blowing through his hair. He was also a country man in the heart, he loved to fish and hunt. The thing that really made David smile was to see his grandchildren and great grandchildren play, and to see his own children grow up.
