About the Author
David R. Carney retired from the U.S. Army and Alabama Army
National Guard as a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer and is also a
retired banker. He spent seven years in Europe and has travelled to
over thirty countries around the world.
Carney is an author and is able to draw on his rich background of
diverse international experiences to write his books. He was raised
in a dysfunctional family and lived in homes across the nation
while attending many schools, and as such, he became a high school
dropout who later attended eight years of college and university
earning four degrees, all with highest honors, including an MBA
from the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Carney has been very instrumental in the military veteran's
community, often speaking at events as well as organizing events
for deployed service members and their families. He has been
recognized by the U.S. Army and also by his community for his many
military and veteran activities. For his support to the National
Guard the Adjutant General of the Alabama National Guard awarded
him the Distinguished Service Medal of Alabama, the highest award
presented by the Alabama National Guard. He has also been presented
the key to five Alabama cities for support to their service
members.
According to a recent Huntsville Times (Alabama) article a photo of
him is "What Volunteers Look Like."
A Redstone Arsenal Rocket front page article about him said he is a
"People Person Dedicated to Service."
The Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Redstone
Huntsville Chapter voted Carney and his wife, Judith, to be their
Volunteer Family of the Year 2019. They won the same award at the
Third Region, AUSA (nine states and territories across the
southeast).
David is on the Board of the Huntsville Madison County Veterans
Memorial and as such co-wrote a book about the Memorial which has
been widely received across the area.
Although now retired, he is still writing novels and how-to-do
books. He lives in the small town of New Market, Alabama with his
wife, Judith, and their two cats. Judith is also a published
author. They are very active in their church.
