David’s lifetime of service is defined by fighting for Equity of Opportunities. Whether he was helping Katrina evacuees resettle, creating educational exchanges and economic opportunities in his work at the City of Houston Mayor’s Office of International Affairs and Development, fighting for improved care and rehabilitation for service members and veterans suffering from spinal cord injuries, or advocating and lobbying for veterans and those with disabilities at the Colorado State Capitol; his servant leadership has been and is founded in fighting for that Equity of Opportunities for all.
David did not survive combat only to sit idly by as gun violence continues to be an epidemic unique to the country which he sacrificed for and served. David has been working with and taking guidance from those that have been directly affected by gun violence including State Representative Tom Sullivan, national leaders such as Gabby Giffords, and those who work in her foundation, and most importantly our neighbors in HD38. David is dedicated to passing legislation that prevents gun violence, promotes gun safety, and promotes responsible gun ownership. Through this work, we will continue to build a greater coalition with those that have already been involved in the work, listen to those affected by the issues, and create impactful legislation. “I am, we are” is about empowering a coalition of individuals guided by a common cause.
