Quoth the Raven #288 - Dave Galluch

Dave is the Republican Candidate for US Congress in PA-05. Dave grew up in Hamburg, NY. He was raised by his mother after his father was killed by a drunk driver before hewas born. His mom is the driving force behind his desire to serve and fight for others, as she had fought for him.Coming from a family with a history of service dating to before the American Revolution, Dave wanted to pursue amilitary career from a young age. He obtained an appointment to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD and began service as a Midshipman in July 2008. Dave graduated four years later ranked 6th in his class of nearly 1,200. He went on to obtain a graduate degree from the University of Cambridge shortly thereafter. At the time he was in college, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were at their fiercest. Dave wanted to put himself atthe center of the fight by combating the enemy's weapon of choice - the Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Davevolunteered for one of the toughest Special Operations communities - Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD).After finishing his training, Dave deployed twice, once to the Middle East with EOD Mobile Unit TWO, and once toSomalia with SEAL Team FOUR. He and his Sailors were tasked with reducing explosive threats and other weaponson the battlefield. He remains honored to have led some of the most elite operators in harm’s way. Dave met his wife Caroline in Washington, DC in 2015. They fell quickly in love and endured six months ofseparation while Dave was on his first deployment only two months after meeting. Shortly after coming home theywere engaged. They were married in July 2018 and endured a second six month separation just three months later. They both credit Dave's deployments with strengthening their bond, relationship, and appreciation for family.In 2019, Dave left the Navy and began working for the Comcast Corporation in Strategic Development. He andCaroline live in Newtown Square, PA, near Caroline's family and new job at the Episcopal Academy. He remainsactive in causes throughout Delaware County, particularly those associated with veterans, the military, local businesses, and historic preservation. Dave and Caroline have two dogs, Kevin and Petunia, and plan to raise a family soon.
