David Drury is a mindset, strategy and teamwork expert, infamously deemed the Most Notorious Card Counter in America by a nationwide network of casinos–and the surveillance agencies they hired to stop him. David cleared seven figures beating blackjack as part of the legendary Church Team, which has been featured on NPR’s This American Life, and in the award-winning documentary film Holy Rollers: The True Story of Card Counting Christians.

David brings his wild preacher’s-kid-meets-high-stakes-gambling story to business audiences and conference stages, divulging time-honored trade secrets to beating the cards, but—more to the heart of the matter—revealing how beating the game transformed his mind for pursuing success in work and life in the face of uncertainty. David invites team leaders and creative business professionals to borrow Card Counter Mindset in forging worthy pathways to personal and team success.

David is a writer, journalist, musician, marketing consultant, and creativity coach.  His forthcoming memoir The God Card is currently in pre-production for podcast and television audiences. He lives and works in Seattle, Washington.
