What makes David different
David came to the Bay Area in 1981 and never left. He and his family appreciate that they can be at the coast or in the snow within a few hours and that the weather is never too extreme to enjoy the outdoors.
He has passion for many types of sports, from martial arts—he’s earned black belts in both Taekwondo and Hapkido—to road-racing motorcycles. These days, though, you’re more likely to find him road cycling. He’s a terrible swimmer who has been rescued a few times.
Where David makes an impact
David chaired The Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI) of Silicon Valley Chapter for 10 years. He’s also a co-organizer for DataCouncil.ai, which hosts events for engineers and data scientists to present their projects for the benefit of the data community.
He attributes his success to those who gave him time, advice, and proper mentorship—and never misses an opportunity to pay that forward. He also supports various organizations, from Veterans organizations and local food banks to the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Human Trafficking.
