A former professional and one-time World Champion athlete, David hurt his back in competition and subsequently developed an addiction to his prescribed pain medication. After completing his own stay in treatment, David discovered both meaning and purpose in helping others find recovery and walked away from a prestigious J.D./M.B.A program to focus on psychology full-time. After completing his Master’s in Psychology, he began pursuing his Doctor of Social Work degree from The University of Southern California.
David is presently a Doctor of Social Work Candidate, where he has spent years researching the most advanced substance abuse related treatment service delivery systems and best practices to maximize successful treatment outcomes and to minimize barriers to care access. David will complete his studies on April 8th, 2022.
