Today I sit down with the smallest Navy SEAL ever! Former U.S. Navy SEAL David Brown was the unlikeliest of candidates for the world's most grueling military selection process. Standing just 5' 3" and weighing 110 pounds, he was unlike any of the others around him who aspired to be SEALs. But through dogged determination and an iron will, he overcame every obstacle that life put in front of him to achieve his dream of becoming a SEAL.
David Brown's life has been one of perseverance, tenacity, and achievement—from childhood adventures, to love lost and found, to BUD/S, the Teams, an exciting career
at NCIS, and then a steady climb to the top echelons of Federal law enforcement. And Goliathis his story through military life and what comes after—the good and the bad.
Told with raw honesty and unwavering courage, And Goliath is more than just a memoir—
it's a testament to the power of perseverance. David’s inspirational tale reveals how
facing your own Goliaths can lead you to live your biggest life possible.
Author Bio
With more than three decades of experience with the federal government, including active-duty military service and Special Agent positions with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Environmental Protection Agency Criminal Investigation Division, and The Department of Interior Office of Inspector General David W. Brown has opened a new chapter in his pursuit of happiness and authored his first book.
After seven years of active duty in the US Navy as a UDT/SEAL and twenty-eight years as a federal Special Agent, David decided to write the book he had been contemplating for decades. Deploying with UDT-21 and SEAL Team 4 worldwide gave him unforgettable experiences and enough material for several SEAL-type books. Still, it was the reason he became a SEAL and Special Agent that was the real story. In his last years as a federal agent, he met and worked with Bob Gettlin at the Department of Interior Office of Inspector General. Together, they developed several extremely successful internal communication initiatives and training modules at the OIG. Their successful partnership and friendship as federal employees followed them into retirement, And Goliath is their latest successful collaboration.
