David Danelo is a Research Director at KSA Integration at KSA Integration. He possess expertise in national security. He is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe him as "David Danelo is a consummate professional in research into the particularities of border regions (particularly the US Southwest border) and the communities that inhabit them. His innovation is the elucidation of how cross-border trade and cultural interaction creates a "nation" of its own with deep familial, professional and financial ties that is very different from communities and development deeper in the two countries separated by that border. If you want to understand these dynamics, David is the man to ask. " and "I reviewed David's book, "Blood Stripes" for our Noteworthy Books section six years ago. "Stripes" remains this editor's go-to reference, in mind and heart, of the complete Marine combat experience. David's observations of NCO's capacities to act, process and respond is unmatched in my literary reseach. Passages from "Stripes" surface in my memory often, and I am sure his take on writing will be boilerplate as the years pass."
