After spending a decade in education serving marginalized youth and BIPOC communities, David transitioned into a full-time career as a DEI coach, consultant, and facilitator. He serves as an active member on DEI leadership teams and facilitates workshops and caucus groups focused on eliminating structural, institutional, and systemic barriers within organizations.
In his current role as a facilitator and program manager, David provides learning opportunities for white-identifying university, school, and district leaders looking to transform their school environments to be antiracist, relevant, and responsive to BIPOC leaders, educators, and students. He focuses on helping educational leaders explore a decolonized approach to teaching, mentoring, and leadership, in order to begin implementing a social justice-centered approach to their organizations.
David’s work ultimately centers on helping white men to examine the insidious ways in which structural racism, toxic patriarchy, and colonial culture impact our own ability to experience compassion, empathy, and humility – ultimately stunting our growth and hindering our ability to be a part of a more egalitarian society.
