David brings a wealth of talent and experiences to his law practice which is concentrated in the area of trucking liability defense with a focus on the waste disposal industry. He also does a lot of work on premises liability and vehicular liability suits for the insurance industry. David has a diverse background. He joined the Air Force directly out of high school and became an aircraft mechanic in the service. He served in Desert Storm as a flight engineer on the C-141 aircraft. Following his service in the Air Force, David worked for a major international air carrier as an aircraft mechanic before returning to law school.

David spends a majority of his time outside of the office trying to keep up with his two small children. As time permits he also enjoys playing pick-up basketball with former schoolmates who, along with David, are a few short years from over the hill hoops status. Finally, also time permitting, David enjoys swapping "war stories" with his buddies at the local VFW hall.
