About David

David Rinaldi is a Catholic speaker, Air Force veteran, and former President of NET Ministries, with over 1,400 talks under his belt. He brings a pastoral heart, solid theology, and genuine humor to every audience, whether he's proclaiming the Gospel to a gym full of parents and teens, challenging men at a conference to step up and lead, or equipping catechists and seminarians to share their faith with confidence.

Before entering full-time ministry in 1997, David served as an Instructor Navigator on the KC-135 air refueling plane, flying 436 missions worldwide, including Operation Desert Storm. He holds a B.A. in Communications from the University of Connecticut and a Master's in Theological Studies from Ave Maria University.

People leave his talks having encountered the love of God the Father in a real and personal way. David and his bride, Linda, were married in 2002 and are the proud parents of three amazing sons, Anthony, Dominic, and Rocco.
