After leaving high school, I joined the military as a means to get a “fresh start”. Well, it certainly worked. I ended up spending 10 years in the service and finishing my time with an amazong history and set of skills.
After a few years in, I really wanted to be a helicopter pilot, but wasn’t able to qualify because my vision wasn’t perfect (I hadn’t heard of Lasik then!). Instead, I joined the Army Special Forces. After about 2 years of the most incredibly difficult training, I came out the other side as David Corbaley, the Green Beret.

3. When I got out of the service after 10 years, I worked
at a few odd jobs. There wasn’t really a lot available
for someone with a resume as a Green Beret… A
friend kept bugging me about trying out for the fire
department. I hadn’t been inspired to do that before,
but figured “why not”. I tested and got hired the first
time around. This frustrated the people who had been
trying and testing for 4 and 5 years, but hey, it wasn’t
my fault. The fire department was a great career, and
I ended up as a fire engine Driver in Seattle. I really
enjoyed it and loved the aspect of helping other
people. However, I began to get bored…

4. I knew deep inside that I wanted my own business. I
just wasn’t sure what to do. I saw an infomercial
about rich dad poor dad and ended up buying one of
his courses. The course taught me that real estate
was the best thing for someone to get involved with. I
started investing in books and courses about real
estate, and flipped my first house. It was in incredible
feeling! There was one big challenge though.

5. The biggest challenge I faced in my real estate
business was finding leads. Motivated sellers who
wanted to sell their house. I went back to my special
operations roots and used the system to overcome
any obstacle. After figuring out a very unique way to
get leads, my business really took off. I was doing
multiple deals every single month and there were
more leads that I knew what to do with. A computer
vendor asked me how I was able to grow my business
so quickly. I responded telling him how I was using
unique methods. The next thing you know, he hired
me to do marketing for his company!

6. Of course, he started getting great results. Then he
started talking to other business owners about his
results. Well… Before long, I was working with
doctors, dentists, lawyers and more, helping them to
market their business locally. It was a great hit!

7. People in the real estate space began hearing about
my success. Soon, real estate educators were
reaching out to me, asking for a course. I decided to
develop my first course on marketing and the rest is
history. I launched the course into the real estate
space and it took off with great results. I began getting
wonderful testimonials about people who were
changing their lives with my marketing system. It was
very exciting. I needed a name. Well, my system was
all about marketing, and I was a Commando, so of
course, The Marketing Commando was perfect!
