David Brown

From Active Duty Military to Computer Programming, Business Process Improvement, Defense Contracting and Tech Start-Ups, I've worked in so many different fields that I decided to take my experience and aim my capabilities at a passion.

In 2016, my wife and I founded Fallen Heroes Tattoo. We were profitable from day one, and in only four short years we grew to become America's single largest studio. In 2021, we opened a second location in Florida USA, and already (June 2022), our Florida location is one of the largest and most sought after studios in the state. I'd like to further hone my skills by helping others achieve success through business process improvement, volunteer work and community-based efforts.
