Growing up on the Navajo Indian Reservation, David Crow and his siblings idolized their dad. Tall, strong, smart, and brave, the self-taught Cherokee regaled his family with stories of his World War II feats. But as time passed, David discovered the other side of Thurston Crow, the ex-con with his own code of ethics that justified cruelty, violence, lies\u2014even murder.<\/p>\n

A shrewd con artist with a genius IQ, Thurston intimidated David \"\"with beatings to coerce him into doing his criminal bidding. David\u2019s mom, too mentally ill to care for her children, couldn\u2019t protect him. One day, making good on his threat to \u201cget rid of their crazy mother,\u201d Thurston packed up the house and took the kids, leaving her nothing. Soon he remarried, and David learned that his stepmother was just as vicious and abusive as his father.<\/p>\n

Through sheer determination, and with the help of a few angels along the way, David managed to get into college and achieve professional success. When he finally found the courage to stop helping his father with his criminal activities, he unwittingly triggered a plot of revenge that would force him into a showdown with Thurston Crow.<\/p>\n

Crow will talk about his incredible, inspirational story and how, after spending his entire childhood on an Indian Reservation believing he was a Native American, he was devastated when he learned his true identity.<\/p>\n

David Crow spent his early years on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona and New Mexico. Through grit, resilience, and a thirst for learning, he managed to escape his abusive childhood, graduate from college, and build a successful lobbyist business in Washington, D.C.\u00a0 Today, David is a sought-after speaker, giving talks to various businesses and trade organizations around the world. Throughout the years, he has mentored over 200 college interns, performed pro bono service for the charitable organization Save the Children, and participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. An advocate for women, he will donate 10 percent of his book royalties to Barrett House, a homeless shelter for women in Albuquerque. David and his wife, Patty, live in the suburbs of D.C.<\/p>\n
