Before joining the firm, David spent eight years at the American Cancer Society, arguably the largest and best-known private health organization in the world. During this time, David served in several roles, most recently as a regional vice president for Queens County, New York, a large and diverse borough, where he oversaw a staff of 25 delivering a broad range of patient services and community-based programs. Before that time, David was vice president for creative services, where he developed marketing strategies and collateral offerings, including print and digital materials, to support health promotion and fundraising priorities.

During his service with the Society, David was awarded the first-ever Distinguished Innovator Award from the organization’s national home office, which recognized his leadership role in delivering breakthrough projects. David continues to serve as a co-primary investigator on a National Cancer Institute-funded study of community health promotion strategies focused on libraries, overseen by researchers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the New York City Health & Hospitals Corporation.

David holds a B.A. from the University of Chicago, where he also pursued several years of graduate work in intellectual history. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
