David was born in Hilo, Hawaii, and earned his degree from Oregon State University in June 2020. After moving to Bend in 1998, he most recently worked with the High Desert Education Service District before joining Full Access High Desert in 2024. Inspired by his stepfather’s experience with a supportive probation officer, David initially considered becoming a PO himself, but ultimately found his calling in helping children with behavioral and mental health needs. Driven by a desire to counteract the negativity in the world, he is dedicated to making a positive impact in his community. When he’s not working, David enjoys relaxing at home or exploring Bend with his daughter.
