Dave Brown is an outstanding former Navy SEAL known for his small stature but immense determination. Standing at just 5’3″, he was always underestimated, both by high school bullies and Navy recruiters, yet he remained undeterred and locked in on his goal to serve.

Despite being initially dismissed due to his size, Brown’s persistence and resilience led him to pass the rigorous Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training, even running with two stress fractures during “Hell Week.” He graduated with BUD/S Class 115 and served with Underwater Demolition Team 21 and SEAL Team 4. His deployments took him across Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

His memoir, “And Goliath,” tackles the human side of being a Navy SEAL. Especially in Brown’s case, where his physical limitations seemed to doom his dreams, “And Goliath” chronicles the willpower he needed to tap into his potential for success, overcome perceived limitations, and come out at the end as an inspiration to all current, former, and aspiring special operators​.
