David A. Yuzuk (Author) was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. His journey has been anything but ordinary. After attending Stony Brook University on Long Island, he set his sights on Miami, where he spent 19 years serving with the Aventura Police Department. As a uniformed patrolman, undercover officer, and detective, he tackled some of the city’s most challenging cases. His dedication earned him two Officer of the Month awards from his department and prestigious recognition from the Dade County Chief’s Association.

In 2017, David turned his investigative skills toward an even greater mystery—the incredible life of his friend, Green Beret Captain Richard J. Flaherty. His deep dive into Flaherty’s shadowy past led to the critically acclaimed documentary The Giant Killer, a gripping account of one of the most enigmatic figures in military history.

After five years of relentless research, David brought Flaherty’s story to life in the bestselling nonfiction book and audiobook The Giant Killer. He continued his exploration of military legends with Giant Killers, War Heroes, and Special Forces Legends and Women in War, further cementing his reputation as a master storyteller.

Still based in Miami, David travels the country, immersing himself in creative projects that bring extraordinary stories to light.
