About David

When I was a young boy I always told people that I wanted to be a teacher. I did not always treat my teachers as one should, and it surprised people when I told them that. In the first grade I presented all my GI Joe toys and visited Marine recruiters in order to get some posters. This may have been an early clue to my future career. I spent 20 years in the Marines, mostly in logistics and a stint in recruiting. I always felt great helping others with their personal problems and their intended direction in life. As I progressed up the ranks, I had the opportunity to set the example of being open minded and accepting of an individuals plan for the future. I always challenged the Marines under my charge to constantly seek improvement in their life professionally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and to further their education. As I look back, this was the beginning of my future profession as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
