Miss Floo Flocky Doo!
The Professional Me
David brings a captivating blend of imagination and real-world experience to children’s literature. Born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida, he began an adventurous global journey with his family after earning his commission in the United States Air Force. Over decades of leadership in military intelligence, public policy, and executive program development, David built a distinguished career before turning his storytelling passion into an international award-winning children’s book.
His lively, rhyming picture book, Floo Flocky Doo to the Rescue, was inspired by the imagination of his youngest daughter, Hunter, and oldest daughter, Sarah. The story follows an eccentric young girl, her animal companions, and a whole lot of joyful mischief—all wrapped in rhythm, color, and kindness. Today, David and his family are thrilled to share Miss Floo Flocky Doo’s delightful adventures with children around the world.
