David joined the WAVE Coaching Staff in 2024! Prior to WAVE, he coaches at Dakine Volleyball Club in Tacoma, WA (2019-2024). While in Washington, he was also a baseball pitching coach at both EL1 Baseball (2019-2020) and Pierce College (2019-2024). He played college baseball at Tennessee Wesleyan University.

David's Coaching Philosophy: "Once I have a good idea of where athletes are at I like to try and get the athletes to ask questions/give feedback during/after drills to help me give more specific feedback/instruction to them. Not only do I feel like it helps me give the athletes more useful feedback but also feel like it forces the athletes to be thinkers and not robots as well as better understand the why behind what is being asked of them."

Even though baseball was his main sport growing up, he played as much volleyball as he could. He started playing beach consistently in 2019 and had competed in local Seattle tournaments, as well as the annual Seaside tournament.

Fun Facts: David has always done everything left handed/footed... but CANNOT throw a frisbee left handed but can right handed.
