What's Your Story?
Dr. David Leitner takes you on a fascinating, educational, and inspirational journey into the life of a lone soldier in the elite IDF Maglan commando unit as he suffers a life altering injury
Immigrating to Israel alone at the age of 20, David was determined to serve the Jewish People and worked tirelessly to get accepted into one of the top IDF commando units.
After his initial injury, David continued to serve for over 11 months.
Despite the challenges he faced, David never gave up.
After his medical release, David was determined to get his life back on track. He underwent multiple operations and therapies to try and recover.
Dealing with a new reality and a severe chronic pain disorder resulting from his injury, David continued to aim high. He sought multiple opportunities to change his world.
He completed his BA and a direct PhD. He knew that part of getting back on track meant moving forward and challenging himself.
He is the only Israeli International Practical Shooting Confederation competitor to participate in a wheelchair.
David has spent more than 15 years as a leadership and strategy educator and over 20 years as an accessibility and inclusion activist.
