About Dr. David Goodman

Dr. David Goodman is a board-certified physician, leadership coach, and founder of Craft, a coaching practice equipping professional men to lead their families with clarity and conviction. Drawing on two decades of experience in medicine, global health, and mentoring, David helps fathers translate purpose into practice through slow, methodical formation rather than quick fixes.

He is the creator of Base Camp 322, an online course and movement that prepares fathers of boys for the climb to manhood. Built around three stages: Stalk the Beast, Set Up Camp, and Stoke the Fire. The program guides men to confront their inner shadows, establish intentional family rhythms, and cultivate secure attachment with their sons. The name comes from Luke 3:22 where God declares over Jesus, “You are my beloved son; with you I am well-pleased.” David knows it is essential for boys to receive that declaration from their fathers, early and often, in their journey through childhood.

David’s voice is grounded, practical, and deeply formed by Christian spiritual tradition. He draws insight from psychology, attachment theory, and thinkers like John Mark Comer, Dallas Willard, and Richard Boyatzis, offering a rare integration of professional expertise and personal depth.

Whether he’s delivering a keynote, leading a men’s retreat, or recording a podcast, David speaks to the modern tension of being both driven and devoted as a father called to succeed at work without losing his soul at home. He offers a unique voice in this space as a practicing physician engaged in the "real" world while also cultivating a deeply knowledgeable and experiential faith.
