David Booth - Retired Special Agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), serving more than 22 years in federal law enforcement, including assignments with the ATF Special Response Team (SRT) and the agency’s Quick Reaction Force teams. Prior to his career with the ATF, David served in the United States Army operating Bradley Fighting Vehicles and later worked as a wildland firefighter on an elite Hotshot crew, battling intense wildfires across rugged terrain and enduring the demanding physical and mental challenges that come with protecting lives, property, and natural resources on the front lines. He concluded his distinguished federal law enforcement career as a highly decorated director within the ATF. An avid outdoorsman and mountaineer, David has continued pushing himself long after retirement, taking on extreme terrain and relentlessly pursuing new challenges while traversing some of North America’s most demanding mountain ranges — including summiting all of Colorado’s iconic 14,000-foot peaks. In this episode of The Mountain Side Podcast, David publicly shares his story for the first time with friend and host Bobby Marshall, diving into a lifetime of service, resilience, adventure, and the mindset forged through decades in high-risk environments.
