David is a bit of a shape-shifter—part teacher and facilitator, part designer and strategist, part consultant and community developer to name a few. He’s been an educator for over 25 years and a real estate professional for over 20 years. He’s consulted and guided developers, investors, founders, and built environment entrepreneurs through the adventures of aspirational projects and business transformations.

David has been a pioneer out on the fertile edges of regenerative real estate . It’s never been purely transactional for David, it’s always relational, aspirational, and rooted in wholeness. He's collaborated on residential Living Building Challenge and Passive House projects, cottage clusters and cohousing developments, and years of systemic community engagement to initiate the market transformation needed to support these efforts.

David’s work is devoted to community development and placemaking. He designs and initiates ecosystem partner engagement that cultivates strong, networked relationships across leading edge practitioners, aligned capital, and development partners.

At the heart of it all, David helps people, communities, and organizations develop culture, capability, and consciousness that honors life and enables flourishing.

This work is a deep vocation for David, but beyond this he loves to get outside and move—year-round cold river plunges, #sunrisewonderwanders, twilight bike rides, and as much tennis in the park as possible. You’re likely to find him with a pencil behind his ear and a sketchbook in hand, ready to gather a few thoughts, map something out, dream up some housing type design or redesign some daily object that could be made more simply and beautifully.
