About

Thad David is a Marine Recon Scout Sniper veteran, speaker, and author dedicated to helping people perform when it matters most. After serving in some of the most demanding environments on earth—including the initial invasion of Iraq—Thad discovered that the same principles that drive precision in the field also drive transformation in life and business.

Today, he trains thousands of professionals across North America in leadership, communication, and personal development as a Master Trainer for Nexstar Network. His unique blend of sniper-school discipline, battlefield lessons, and endurance-athlete mindset creates a powerful framework for growth—one rooted in clarity, preparation, and decisive action.

When he’s not leading trainings or speaking on stage, Thad is often found pushing his limits in the mountains. He completed the legendary Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon and continues to explore the intersection of endurance and mindset through his documentary series, The Long Shot, and his podcast, On Your Lead: Precision Means Preparation.

Thad lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, with his wife and two kids, where they’re building a life fueled by purpose, grit, and the belief that precision always precedes progress.

Lead with intent. Move with purpose. Take the shot.
