David Brown

David W. Brown embarked on his illustrious career at the young age of seventeen, demonstrating his unwavering dedication by enlisting in the US Navy. His journey began at the Naval Training Center in Great Lakes, Illinois, where he underwent rigorous training. His exceptional abilities led him to the prestigious Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL (BUD/S) training in Coronado, California, a testament to his perseverance. After an intense eleven-month training period, he successfully graduated from BUD/S Class 115. He further honed his skills with Army Airborne training at Fort Benning, Georgia, and served with distinction at UDT-21 in Little Creek, Virginia, and SEAL Team 4, participating in operations across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

In 1987, having obtained a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, David transitioned from active military service to a civilian role as a Special Agent with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). His career path led him from Beaufort, South Carolina, where he worked at the Marine Recruit Depot Parris Island, then the Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. His exemplary work in Hawaii resulted in a promotion and transfer to NCIS headquarters in Washington, D.C.

David’s journey continued at the Environmental Protection Agency in St. Louis, Missouri, where he advanced to the position of Assistant Special Agent in Charge of Region 7. He later took on the Special Agent in Charge role at the Department of Interior Office of Inspector General in Sacramento, managing operations across the western United States, the Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Territories, and Freely Associated States.

After 35 years of federal service, David retired as a Senior Executive. He lives in Sanford, Florida, with his wife Sheryl, where he proactively advocates for public safety in his community.
