Our Founder, David, is a bipolar disorder survivor.
Diagnosed over six years ago, David has learned some very important
insights, life-saving lessons and strategies that have allowed him
to not only survive bipolar disorder but to also discover a meaningful
life beyond. David has dedicated the past three years to the creation
of his book Surviving Bipolar–A Journey to Hell and Back.
The book takes you along his journey and path to healing, understanding
and the discovery of hope. David’s hope that his book will
touch everyone who reads it in a special way and that lives will
be changed and even saved. David’s vision of SurvivingBipolar.Com
and his book is to create bipolar disorder awareness, the discussion
of this disorder, foster hope for new strategies, and to the pursuit
of an eventual cure.
David has been married for twenty years to the love of his life.
From their marriage they have had five children. David thoroughly
enjoys family life and over the many years has made certain that
his family is his highest priority.
David has dedicated many years to community service, and a great
deal of time volunteering at a local Christian Church. His broad
background includes a career in engineering, consulting and management,
as well as sales and service. His experience includes motivational
speaking, teaching and group leadership. His skills acquired through
his career, volunteer services and family life have proven valuable
as he now dedicates his energies to both his family and the pursuit
of helping others to survive bipolar disorder.
