With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Florida State University, David started his practical experience in Florida politics in 1996.

After Rep. Putnam's 1996 campaign, David was retained in the position of Legislative Assistant where he enjoyed four years of relationship building both in Polk County and in Tallahassee before managing now-Commissioner of Agriculture Putnam's victorious Congressional campaign in 2000.
David is skilled at developing, maintaining, and strengthening relationships essential to governmental representation before the Legislature and state agencies.
