David has been fascinated with animals since childhood. He earned his B.A. in Film Studies and English from the University of California, Davis, learning valuable writing skills and how to tell great stories. He then moved to San Francisco, working for an independent film archive and then later joining the tech industry, where he spent many years learning how to manage projects, engaging with clients, and developing marketing experience. When his desire to help animals called to him again, he left tech and joined the nonprofit world at the San Francisco SPCA, until eventually finding WCN and being enamored by their mission. He brings all of his accrued skills to a team dedicated to protecting animals around the world, and when he’s not in the office, you might find him in a bookstore, on a hike, or in a karaoke lounge.
