the only service member to
ever have been susceptible
to the fear of life without the
military, and he recognized
this, thus decided he was
going to do something, and

service members, just as he
did as a combat medic.
David said, "I know how I felt,
I was in a bad place, and no
veteran should ever have to
feel like that."
In 2012, David took the life lessons he had learned, the
motivation he had to impact the life of someone else, and
founded Combat Veterans to Careers. Since he has been able to
touch the lives of others and their families who are making the
transition from the military life to the civilian life. Acculturation
into the civilian world can be demanding, difficult, and sometimes
disheartening, which can deplete the motivation to excel in a way
unique to veterans, and discourage veterans, leading to them not
being able to adapt, and even flourish, in their new civilian life,
but Combat Veterans to Careers has committed themselves to
providing extensive case management in educational and
employment readiness services, working to address the problem
of access to the essential foundations of modern living, and
providing the 360 degrees of support necessary for the
enhancement of the quality of life for the underprivileged and
economically disadvantaged population of military combat
veterans across the country.
