David Armstrong
Small Business Owner, Public Speaker, and Life Coach in Kalamata, Greece
Dave Armstrong or you can call “Sensei Dave” was a product of a broken family, foster care, youth correction facilities, and a deceased, only parent at the age of 13. As an “at-risk” youth and a “product” of the inner-city educational system, young Sensei Dave was predestined to run with gangs, NOT graduate high school and be dead or in jail by the age of 18.
After his mother passed away Sensei Dave lost all contact with his family and was in and out of boys homes, juvenile hall, and foster homes in San Bernardino, California for over 5 years. But along the way he was influenced by two AMAZING people; his CASA, Ron Barnick, an Air Force pilot, and Sensei Otto Johnson, his first Martial Arts Instructor. Without their mentoring Sensei Dave Armstrong would not have been able to mentor, guide, help, and motivate 100’s if not 1000’s of youth, mentors, foster parents, and board members.
Sensei Dave has also sat on the Board of Directors as Vice President for non-profit organizations, created his own Martial Arts Mentoring program, and owned three martial arts schools (Faith Martial Arts Inc.) in the United States. As a U.S. Air Force Veteran Sensei Dave has been able to travel and see the world, spreading his positive and motivational personality from country to country.
After serving 24-years in the U.S. Air Force, Sensei Dave decided to retire in the beautiful country of Greece to finish his now, Best Selling and truly inspirational autobiography “Why Me” My Fight For Life. He also decided to continue to give back by starting his Life Coaching business, Unlimited Potential Network Academy, focusing on helping young men and women and their parents, as well as adults looking to improve their happiness and lives.
Sensei Dave believes a lot in improving one’s skills and knowledge so he decided to become a certified Les Brown Motivational Speaker as well as to obtain his Psychology degree from Liberty University. All to become a better motivator, teacher, mentor and Coach.
He has been able to influence so many people young and old in his life he wishes to continue to help and spread HOPE.
