About David "Stretch" Coffman and TImeToThrive:
Dave “Stretch” Coffman is a middle class kid from a small town in Central Florida who had the amazing opportunity to serve his country as a Marine Officer for 34 years and, along the way,
deepen his understanding of the eternal values of Faith, Family, Country, and Community.
Born and raised in Eustis, Florida, he graduated from Duke University and was commissioned a Marine Second Lieutenant through the Navy ROTC Program in May 1985. Stretch spent the
first half of his career in Marine Aviation flying helicopters in training and tactical operations all over the world. For the second half, he led Navy-Marine and Joint teams at home and
forward deployed as a Commander and staff officer up to the most senior levels of National Defense.
During his service as a Marine, Stretch had lots of opportunities to build, train, and lead diverse teams in challenging situations in peacetime, crisis, and conflict. He has learned a lot about
leadership, and life. Particularly since 5th July 2004, when he was very seriously injured ((ironically) by getting shot while flying a Casualty Evacuation mission in Central Iraq as a
helicopter squadron commander. From his own evacuation back home for repairs, and in the years since, he has demonstrated a passion for LEADING IN TOUGH TIMES--- HOW TO “THRIVE
IN CHAOS”--- and AFTER…
Stretch now speaks and writes about his experiences in order to help individuals and organizations seeking to THRIVE amidst the challenges of our current age. Anchoring his work
in a Values Hierarchy of FAITH, FAMILY, COUNTRY, and COMMUNITY, Stretch can help you and your team get Physically, Mentally, Spiritually, and Socially prepared for combat—and for life—
so that you can live your life and lead your teams with PURPOSE and POWER and LOVE.
