Pronouns: He/Him/His

David is the proud father of two Brooklyn children. He was one of two founding Co-Directors for United for Brownsville beginning in 2018, and the highlight of his career has been the partnership he has formed with residents and social service providers in Brownsville. He loves community-led, data-powered solutions to seemingly intractable issues like inequitable access to essential services like Early Intervention. Prior to UB, David was an Associate Director of Planning and Analytics for the NYC Department of Education, where he helped plan school rezonings and other projects that improved learning conditions for students in the Bronx and Queens. He has directed educational programs at a non-profit college preparatory organization for students from underserved populations, and he led fundraising and communications for a nonprofit bilingual school in Honduras. David hails from Hartford, CT, where he got his start working to make systems more accountable as a child plaintiff. He has degrees from Grinnell College and Columbia University.
