Dave joined the Army in 2001 and served in various light infantry units until his separation in 2016. In 2009, he passed Ranger School and was deployed with the Golden Dragons 2/14In, 10th Mountain Division to Iraq. After his honorable discharge in 2016, he attended Suffolk University in Boston where he majored in Finance and now serves as a Financial Advisor with Northwestern Mutual and a financial planning team based in Wellesley, Ma. He currently lives with his daughter, Isabella, and dog Winston in Millis, Ma.
After his separation from the Army, David began to notice that more and more service members were taking their own lives and felt compelled to start the non-profit, 22Mohawks. The main goal of 22Mohawks is to bring awareness to veteran suicide. They sponsor multiple events each year that bring veterans and their families together. Their mission is to create and keep the bond between veterans so that everyone knows that they have someone with similar experiences they can lean on. A big part of that bond and connection is lost after separation from the military and believing fully in their mission to reinforce and maintain that sense of community.
Stacey Ann is the CEO of 22Mohawks, a Non-profit bringing awareness to veteran suicide. She is an ISEI Certified Emotional Intelligence Facilitator, Certified NLP Practitioner, Energy Healer, Author and holds an Associate's Degree in Applied Science.
Stacey is also the founder of Mind Body Image, a company providing both individual and corporate wellness programs to bring mental, physical and emotional education together for her clients.
In 2009, Stacey lost her father to Veteran Suicide. Knowing firsthand the pain and trauma that comes along with losing someone to suicide she aims to provide awareness, support and love to all of those in need.
She is truly an uplifting visionary who has also overcome many years of trauma and although she holds many titles, her driving force and most valuable title is being a mother to her 10-year-old daughter.
