David Richards is an extraordinary human being just like you. A veteran of war, he is now an agent of peace, international bestselling author, speaker, and corporate yogi. He helps people create spectacular visions for their lives.

Richard grew up in Japan for a few years as a kid, which was a phenomenal experience for him. He wanted to be a writer, but he didn’t have the experiences and the confidence to write as a kid, so he joined the military. 

He became a yoga instructor in 2007, and he was able to scratch at the writing itch. in 2017, David published his book Whiskey and Yoga: Find Your Purpose, and he became the best-selling author. 

After his first book, he realized he needed something more. So, at the beginning of the pandemic, he wrote his second book, The Lighthouse Keeper: A Story of Mind Mastery, and he’s now working on his third book.
