Every single person has value and it is David’s strong desire to be a driving force behind that realization for our clients. He has recently moved to the Big Island from the Midwest and brings a hard-work ethic to the Aloha spirit of the islands. David also has personal experience in addiction and recovery. Knowing the difficulties involved, he recognizes and empathizes with those living a life of addiction and realizes its profound effect on loved ones and every facet of life. He has had past experience working for the government at the local, state, and federal levels. Outside of The Ohana, David’s passion is his family. He loves spending his free time experiencing all that the island has to offer with his wife and young son. David is also proud to have an adult son and two adult daughters, along with three awesome grandchildren. He enjoys home projects, whether inside or outside, and is not afraid to tackle seemingly daunting tasks. He has a strong fondness for classic and sports cars and finally retired from a career in semi-professional football at the age of 47. It is David’s wish that he can positively influence every client that he crosses paths with at The Ohana. He is living proof that anything is possible as long as you have the courage to take that first step forward.
