“I moved my business next door to David’s business over 10 years ago. Over the 6 years we spent as neighbors I had the privilege of getting to know David Burnell. He was there for me through good times and bad. David has given me invaluable council and life changing advise on so many occasions. When facing hardship with my business David encouraged me to let go of my stubbornness, humble myself take advantage of different opportunities. That advise set me on the path that made me the man I am today. I believe that I was placed in David’s path because our Heavenly Father knew that I needed his no nonsense and honest guidance.
For 10 years I have taken every opportunity to learn from David Burnell - live talks, seminars, YouTube videos, podcasts, DVD’s, and David has been my defensive handgun instructor for 6 years. I guess you could say “I’m a huge fan”. People say that you should never meet your hero's because you will be disappointed. This will never be the case with David Burnell. In fact: David Burnell’s example, instruction, and friendship have meant everything to me. I look forward to seeing what David will teach us next.”
