David has built a reputation for delivering clear, accessible, and engaging training across a wide range of industries. His approach is grounded in real-world know-how and a genuine passion for helping others succeed in high-stakes environments.

David’s journey as an instructor began in the U.S. Army, where he served as a drill sergeant. It was there that he discovered his calling: leading teams, breaking down complex topics, and motivating people to perform under pressure. That same spirit continues to define his work today—whether he’s teaching seasoned professionals or those just starting their safety careers.

A generalist by design, David is comfortable training across a broad spectrum of topics, making him a versatile asset in both classroom and field settings. One of his most memorable moments came during a high-stakes situation involving an urgent aircraft repair. He was called upon to provide on-the-spot, just-in-time confined space training to a team of mechanics preparing to enter an airplane fuel tank—a reminder that great instruction doesn’t just happen in a classroom; it saves lives in the field.

David’s strength lies in creating a learning environment where students feel both challenged and supported. His years of real-world experience and calm, confident presence help learners walk away with practical knowledge and the confidence to act when it matters most.
