From Warhorse to the Workshop: US Army Veteran David Parks’ Journey
This week on The ToosDay Crue, hosts Stephen and Jake sit down with US Army Veteran David Parks, a man whose journey from chaos in Iraq to peace in the countryside is a story of grit, resilience, and self-discovery.
David served with Bravo Company 296 in Iraq (2009) as a mechanic stationed at FOB Warhorse, facing the grind of deployment, injury, and leadership challenges firsthand. After the Army, he earned a degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice, conducting research on the correlation between alcohol use, PTSD, and aggression among veterans.
Today, David embraces life off the grid—restoring cars, attending car shows, and enjoying the simple joys of country living. His story reminds us that healing doesn’t always happen on a schedule—and sometimes, purpose is found under the hood of a project car.
🎙️ Tune in to The ToosDay Crue for real talk, veteran stories, and lessons in resilience.
