Eye to Eye

I am someone who learns differently, and that is as much a part of my identity as anything else.

About David

Was never a good student, but decided that rather than becoming “the dumb kid,” he’d become “the bad kid.”
As a result, he was on good terms with his school principal, whose office he was visiting constantly.
He was later diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD.
When he got to Brown University, he learned that one in five people have a learning or attention issue.
Once he realized he wasn’t alone, he was struck with a desire to find “his people,” the learning and attention issues community.
He started a support group at Brown and word soon spread to nearby schools; suddenly, hundreds of students were emailing him wanting to join his “club.”
David realized he couldn’t just leave his project behind, and decided to dedicate his post-grad life to building “Project Eye-to-Eye” into a national movement.
Says he’s driven by his love of learning, and his passion is to make sure that every kid can learn in an environment that best fits their needs.
