David is a recognized educational leader whose work spans the classroom, the principal's office, and the national stage.  His research on cultural trauma and teacher practice informs a career dedicated to equity, belonging, and high-performing school systems. In 2026, his pioneering use of AI in the hiring process at Golf Middle School earned a feature in Education Week, Frontline Educational Systems, and led to multiple presentations for the American Association of School Personnel Administrators including sessions on AI-driven hiring, new hire retention, and modern recruitment strategy. David's work is defined by a simple belief: when adults are supported and systems are strong, students succeed.
