Dave Brown, author and former Navy SEAL, has recently released his transformational memoir, And Goliath: The Littlest SEAL's Inspirational Story About Living Your Biggest Life. As one of the most unconventional SEALs in history—enlisting at just 17 years old, standing 5’3”, and weighing 110 pounds—Dave’s story transcends the typical military narrative. It’s a raw, honest, and courageous account of being underestimated, bullied, and persevering through some of life’s toughest challenges, including death and divorce, to emerge as a symbol of determination and resilience.

More than just a SEAL story, this suspenseful and inspirational page-turner delves into the universal struggles we all face—showing how anyone can rise above limitations and lead a bigger life. Readers have praised it as an unputdownable story, with many finding themselves reflected in the challenges and triumphs within its pages.

David transitioned from the military to a civilian Special Agent role with NCIS in 1987, leading to a 34-year federal law enforcement career. He served with NCIS, the EPA Criminal Investigation Division, and the Department of Interior, where he ultimately became the Associate Inspector General for Communication. David holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Troy State University and has completed advanced leadership training at the Center for Creative Leadership, the Federal Executive Institute, and Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
