David’s desire to give back and serve his community is deeply rooted, as is his passion to lead. His father’s words that “a good leader gives back” affected how David thought about his role in his community. While in high school, David served as president of Student Government, president of National Honor Society, and was a voice of positivity and inspiration as Captain of the football team for 3 out of 4 years. He also spent countless hours volunteering at food pantries, small community organizations, and lower and middle schools: “I go back to schools not only to tell my story but to keep them on the right track.”
