David was nominated by his friend Kelli…

David has been in the US Navy for 7 years. He has been to several different places ranging from Florida, Arizona, Afganistan, Italy, and more on both sea and shore duty. He has been stationed in Norfolk during most of his Naval career, which can be difficult because he is originally from Illinois. He is the middle child in a family of three children, but he has always stood out because of his creative abilty to build and fix a variety of things, including the parts for the aircraft he works on. He is my hero because he is one of the strongest and kindest people I have ever met, even with everything he has been through.
