Dave Badgett is a former fireman, Vietnam war veteran, Naval Postgraduate School instructor, and public safety consultant. He was also one of the leaders of a Los Angeles Fire Department specialty team flown across the country to respond to the 9/11 attacks. In his 32 years with the LAFD facing high-rise fires, shootings, riots, brushfires, and airplane crashes, nothing compared to those days spent in New York. For his courage and lifelong dedication to public safety, we are honoring Dave as a Nuvision hero.

Hundreds of Nuvision members spent a Thursday evening outdoors under the late August sky, enjoying stunning lakeside views and a cool summer breeze. At our August 19th Member Celebration Event, we wanted to show the community how much we care. This meant bringing the best of everything—the best local catering, the best local band, and the best venue to represent our values, the Anchorage Aviation Museum. Hardworking Nuvision members have changed the world, and we’re certain each member who attended will too.

As our membership base in Alaska has increased and expanded to new regions, we’ve been thrilled to watch the Nuvision family grow. We’ve also noticed the need for additional branch locations. Today, we are happy to announce that a new beautiful new branch is coming to Wasilla!

Entrepreneur, on-camera host, motivational speaker, and business owner, Alyssa London uses her story to bring people together and help others understand the beauty of different cultures, in Alaska and beyond. That’s why she’s this month’s choice for our Nuvision Hero spotlight.
