Background
David comes from a family with more than 40 years of history on the Space Coast. He currently owns his own business helping non-profit organizations raise money to support their causes. To date, he has raised more than $5 million in revenue for charities.
Public service has long been a passion for him. David has previously served as an elected city clerk, where he fought to cut taxes and modernize the functions of local government. One important achievement to him was starting a city tradition of lining the streets with American Flags in honor of those who gave their lives for our country every Memorial Day. That tradition, which started in 2017, continues to this day.
David is a Florida State University graduate with a Master’s Degree from The George Washington University. He currently resides in Melbourne with his energetic dog Scout.
