Degree from the American Public University System and the

motor transportation and logistics but has also excelled in such
billets as Ground Safety Manager, Command Financial Specialist,
and Staff Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge (SNCOIC) of
Recruiting SubStation Springfield, MO, where he was selected as
the SNCOIC of the Year in 2016!





David started real estate investing in 2015 after reading
“Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. He house-hacked a duplex
with the FHA loan and lived there until he received orders to
Hawaii. David has two children, Cody (14) and Jackson (6).

equity line of credit to purchase this property with less than 6%
