Danny White grew up in the Mountain View community in the Upstate of South Carolina. In 1987, he graduated from Hampton Park Christian School in Greenville, South Carolina, then attended The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, in Charleston, South Carolina, on a Marine-option NROTC scholarship.
 
He graduated from The Citadel on 11 May 1991 and the same day was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 2012, Danny retired as a Lieutenant Colonel with 21-plus years of active duty service in the Marines, all over the globe, as a combat engineer.
 
Along his life’s journey, Danny found God to be the Marine Corps motto Semper Fidelis (“Always Faithful”), particularly on one tough day during a military move. On 14 December 1997, he watched his pregnant wife Jenny and five-year-old son Lil Danny die in a single vehicle accident. He was amazed at how close the Lord became to him during the aftermath and the incredible comfort and strength God provided.
 
After much prayer seeking the Lord’s guidance, Danny continued serving on active duty and met his wife Nora. They were married in 1998. Nora adopted Hannah and Ethan then Nora and Danny were blessed with seven children: Lydia, Ian, Phillip, Erik, Noel, Christine, and Anders. And in their chapter of life together, Nora and Danny found God’s comfort and strength during two miscarriages.
 
After transitioning from the military, Danny followed the LORD’s leading to found Lead with Liberty as a business to share leadership and resiliency lessons learned as a Marine, husband, and father.
 
God gave him direct guidance, while speaking at a men’s retreat in 2019, to shut down Lead with Liberty as a business and re-form it as a non-profit ministry. Danny and Nora obeyed God by founding Lead with Liberty Ministries, in 2020, to encourage Christians families to find freedom in Jesus Christ…just as they did. They do this by openly sharing their story and the experiential wisdom they've picked up from 25 years of doing life together and rearing nine children.
 
In 2021, Danny worked on a second printing of A Widower’s Walk: From Desert to Destiny...a memoir of his chapter of life with Jenny and their children (Lil Danny, Hannah, and Ethan) as well as the chapter of life with Nora and their blended family. The next projects will be to make this book available as an E-book and audiobook.
 
Also in 2021, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) certified Lead with Liberty Ministries as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.
