David Carlson’s life is proof that redemption is possible — and that purpose is powerful when it’s personal.

A decorated Iraq War veteran who rebuilt from hardship to hope, David now lives his mission through service, storytelling, and systems change.

As an attorney and founder of We Adapt, he works to heal communities, expand opportunity, and help others turn adversity into growth. But above all, David is a devoted husband and father — roles that keep him grounded in love, accountability, and faith.

This space is an invitation — not just to hear his story, but to connect with his journey, his work, and the movement he’s building toward justice, healing, and human connection.
