Dave Gibbons loves to invest his life in atypical leaders throughout the world: the fringe and the misfits, the outsiders and the under-resourced. Dave is an activist for cultural innovation. He incorporates entrepreneurial mindsets, creative ethos and ancient wisdom from spiritual frameworks to socially active endeavors primarily through XEALOT, (a special ops type leadership community and a social venture fund.)

Dave is the author of an award-winning book on culture and the church called The Monkey and the Fish: Liquid Leadership for a Third-Culture Church and the new release Xealots: Defying the Gravity of Normal. He has served on the Board of World Vision US and helps to guide a group of third-culture, faith communities called NEWSONG.
