David M. Reddix Sr. (Retired Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion Chief/Minister/Author)

Before David M Reddix Sr was a fire battalion chief he was a thirteen year-old kid getting kicked out of school in 1973-written off by everyone who knew him. He didn’t know it then, but he already had what mattered most ; he didn’t know how to quit. From a shotgun shack in Shreveport, Louisiana, never knowing his father, being raised by a single mother of six while on government assistance in one of the notorious and toughest housing projects in south Los Angeles (Nickerson Gardens), to commanding and leading one of the largest metropolitan fire department in the nation -Reddix’s thirty-three-year journey through the Los Angeles Fire Department is a testament to persistence over ease, and faith over fear. Three attempts at becoming a Battalion Chief would have discouraged most into quitting-but not David. He persevered until he succeed. His book I Don’t know How to Quit is about fire, faith, and refusal to give up-proof that where you started from doesn’t; have to determine where you finish. David is also, a husband of forty- years to his wife Laura and he is the father of three young adults and grand father to four grandkids. He is a minister at Life Changing Ministry and a chaplain for the West-Side Action Group.
