David Fritz is a distinguished leader with extensive service to the United States. Enlisting in the U.S. Army in 2006, he participated in multiple deployments supporting the Global War on Terrorism. Following his military tenure, David continued his commitment to national security by overseeing protective operations for the Diplomatic Security Service.
As a disabled veteran, David intimately understands the challenges faced by warfighters and first responders. After obtaining his SCUBA certification, he experienced firsthand the therapeutic benefits of "blowing bubbles". This revelation led him to join Deep Blue Dive Therapy Inc. in 2022 as Co-Chairman, aiming to provide fellow veterans and first responders with a unique tool to combat PTS.
David's connection with Founder and CEO Larry Wilson began during a diplomatic security service in Iraq, where they discovered they lived less than 30 minutes apart in the United States. Their shared experiences and proximity fostered a close friendship, strengthening their collaborative efforts at Deep Blue Dive Therapy Inc.
In his role as Co-Chairman, David is dedicated to expanding the organization's reach, ensuring that more of the nation's heroes can access the healing power of scuba diving. His leadership and personal experience are instrumental in guiding Deep Blue Dive Therapy Inc. toward becoming a household name in veteran and first responder support services.
