David is a Certified Financial Planner, registered investment advisor and studied finance and investing at Johns Hopkins University.

David is a 20+ year resident of Takoma Park and has raised his two (now adult) daughters in this amazing community. David enjoys travelling the world, working on his ornamental garden, and spending time with his partner (in-life and in-work) Alishia and their pup Stevie.
