After serving in the Navy aboard ship as an Information Technology Specialist (ITS), Dave became a member of an elite group, Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit (MIUW).

Later Dave would become owner/manager of a Training Franchise, facilitating as a Corporate Management Development Trainer. His company Applied Management Resources (AMR) was a franchisee of Leadership Management Inc. LLC.

He received his CCW in 1998 and enjoyed recreational shooting, but it wasn't until some years later, resulting from an incident at the Church he attends, they began to develop a Security Team which he continues to be a member today. With his past training experience, he began with a fervor to invest in upgrading and certifying himself with New Defensive skills, obtaining Training Certifications in multiple disciplines from several organizations.

That's when he founded CSI, Certified Self-Defense Instruction, teaching Firearms Safety, Concealed Carry and Home/Office Defense, later undertaking the mission to make a difference regarding Deadly Force Incidents, Situational Awareness and Defensive Personal Protection in Faith-Based Organizations. He is presently developing a Conflict Avoidance, Intervention, and De-Escalation ( AID-R ) course teaching the  Resolution and Defense of unavoidable violent encounters.
