Hi! I'm David.

Struggling with depression, near homelessness, and deep self-doubt, I realized that no one was going to rescue me, that I needed to change me.

Through research, mentors, and experiences, I learned that the secret to overcoming life’s challenges are found in mental wellness, purpose, and connection. It became clear to me that by connecting deeply with my true self and others, I could rise with purpose, change my circumstances, and help others do the same.

Today, as a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and communication coach, I guide individuals and organizations in Purposefully Rising™, which teaches how to work with passion and engagement, connect authentically, and create positive change. Rising with purpose is about finding the hero within you to align with your vision for the future while leading with kindness and connection.

Join me in Purposefully Rising™ above the noise.

David's presence brought a unique blend of inspiration and approachability, making him a standout choice for any event seeking a motivational speaker who can leave a lasting impact on the audience.
