About David
- Growing up, I was always the one who would plan games and recruit the other kids on my block to participate.
- In middle and high school, I was the captain of my sports teams—I found fun in leading, organizing, and motivating others.
- In college, I thought I wanted to become a teacher, so I stayed an extra year in school after earning my bachelor’s degree to earn a teaching credential.
- After teaching for a while, I knew I wanted to lead a larger organization, so I went back to school for a credential to become an administrator.
- I also earned a Ph.D. in organizational leadership—the degree was split between the school of education and the school of business, which was great because I really learned how to run a business.
- I moved up to become a school principal and then again to become an assistant superintendent for a school district.
- I’m now the superintendent of Cajon Valley Union School District in California, where I’m responsible for leading the school district and making sure that everyone has what they need to succeed.
