David Monson was born in Washington DC and raised in Virginia. His early exposure to the realities of communism came when his father was stationed in Munich, Germany, during the height of the Cold War. Living in a divided Germany, David witnessed firsthand the oppressive nature of communist regimes.
At the age of 17, David joined the Army and served as a paratrooper in the Army Reserve and Virginia National Guard. Upon graduating from college, he received a Regular Army Commission and served on active duty as a field artillery officer, first in Germany and then at Ft Hood, Texas.
David transitioned from active military service to the Texas National Guard in 1997 and embarked on a civilian career in IT. Although work took him away from Texas, he always longed to return. His inspiration to re-engage with Texas came in late 2020 when he watched an interview between Dr. Turley and Daniel Miller, President of the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM). Reminded of the early days of the Texas secession movement in the 1990s, David knew he had to return and be part of this pivotal moment in Texas history.
Retiring in 2023, David now serves as the Local Coordinator in Tyler and is fully committed to the TNM’s mission to “secure and protect the political, cultural, and economic independence of the nation of Texas and to restore and protect a constitutional Republic and the inherent rights of the people of Texas.”
