The early chapters of David’s life are characterized by a confusing childhood followed by years as a young adult filled with alcohol, partying, sexual immorality, unwanted pregnancies, abortion, marriage, adultery, and divorce. In his mid 20's he met Jesus and his life began being transformed by God’s amazing grace. A couple of years later he left a promising career to enter into full-time ministry. Over the past 25 years, he has served in various ministry roles including a short stint as the chaplain of the Cincinnati Bengals.

​

David is the Associate Pastor at Discovery Church | Alafaya in Orlando, Florida. In this role he gives leadership to men’s, young adult, and marriage ministry. He serves on the Men’s Leadership Team and as a Chapter Leader with SaveOne, an international ministry that helps men, women, and families recover after abortion. He is on the leadership team of Sound the Call, a bi-annual pro-life conference in Florida, hosted by One More Child.

 

David has contributed chapters in two books ‘Tears of A Fisherman: Recovery of Men Wounded by Abortion’ and Ein Neubeginn (New Beginning) – Real Stories of Healing After Abortion (in German and English). His story has been featured by Focus on the Family (SeeLife Live ‘21), Chris Fabry Live (Moody Radio), and CTN (Christian Television Network).
