Dave Braun (Salt Lake City, Utah) is a native of Napoleon, North Dakota, and is co-author, with Troy Amdahl, of the international bestselling book Oola: Find Balance in an Unbalanced World. Dave found material success at a young age while under the mentorship of Troy, who taught him how to live the Oola principles of balance. He eventually drifted from them, however, and found himself bankrupt, divorced, disconnected, and living in a motel. At rock bottom, he sought out Troy, the OolaGuru, knowing he needed help to get his Oola back. The OolaSeeker vowed that if this worked, he would share Oola with the world. It did, and today he and Troy travel the country in a 1970 VW Surf Bus, speaking to groups, collecting dreams, and helping people find balance, purpose, and growth through the 7 F's of Oola.
