After his undergraduate years, he studied Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Richmont University in Chattanooga, TN.

After college, David worked in crisis intervention for two years and then moved to Asheville, where he worked in intensive in-home care before joining the CCBS team.
David shares, "Middle school can be one of the hardest times for kids. I see the boys a few times weekly, both in groups and individually. I love that we incorporate nature into what we do. We can have a traditional sit-down therapy session or go on a walk or hike and talk things through! And it does my heart good to know and see how much our entire CCBS team cares about the kids. "
