Dave oversees all Sales and Distribution activities for 3-Amigos Nutrition Group and the Kinetic brand. You can generally find Dave in front of a crowd and he has conducted seminars for various divisions of the DOD, Homeland Security, USSS, DEA, TSA and numerous state and local Law Enforcement Agencies.
