Who knew that a well known War Contractor named David H Brooks would be exposed as a hidden living Saint and Philanthropist. With the current economic downpour and rise in unemployment David using his foresight decided to jump into action to ease the way for returning Veterans by giving back to our War Heroes.
As a graduate of New York University in 1976, Mr. Brooks evolved into a self-made businessman who created a thriving publicly traded company amongst numerous other business ventures. In 1987, he created a venture capital firm, Brooks Industries of Long Island, through which he made venture capital investments in emerging business entities. In 1992, he formed DHB Industries, Inc., which founded and began operating a protective apparel business. Over time, the business grew, and by the early 2000’s, DHB was one of the leading protective apparel companies. In 1993, DHB’s first full year of operations, its revenues were approximately $7 million; in 2004, its revenues had grown to over $340 million. Mr. Brooks was the driving force behind the growth and success of the business.
DHB has been the leading supplier of military Body Armor throughout major historical events that have changed the world in the past 7 years post September 11th, 2001; “Operations Enduring Freedom” in Afghanistan and “Operation Iraqi Freedom” in Iraq. Concerned from past tragedies of war and driven by a Passionate to see our Troops out of harm’s way, Mr. Brooks has invested significant time lobbying to insure that our country’s soldiers receive the best possible protective armor, expedited in a timely fashion to meet the pressing wartime demands.
Needless to say, Mr. Brook continues to discretely actively seek acts of charitable kindness by supporting humane causes and community initiatives. Only recently, in response to the downturn in the financial market, rising unemployment and the increasing need for philanthropic gestures, David could no longer sit by quietly on the sidelines and has allowed for his noble charitable actions to become publicized. Regardless, David remains steadfast in pursuing his passion and compassion for continuing involvement in strengthening the safety and security of our great Nation and the community at large.
