    At the age of 18, David sensed a call into ministry and completed his undergraduate and seminary work in preparation to become a pastor. After 10 years of starting and growing churches in southern California, he was burned out from trying to fill an internal hole of not-enoughness, which resulted in burnout, implosion, healing, and a new chapter of life.

He is the author of a dozen books including Empowered to Rise and Superconscious Conversations, producer/director of four feature films on important social issues, and a Certified Breathwork and Guided Meditation Facilitator.
