Hi, I'm David!
I’m a big believer that all things can be accomplished through a foundation of strength. For me, this means putting in the repetitions day in and day out with a determined smile and kindness in my approach.
For the last 9 years I’ve worked across the healthcare system to reduce cost, improve outcomes and design delightful experiences for customers. Join me on my journey to improve lives with a human centered approach to healthcare.

Experience
I’m a seasoned public health professional, a NASM certified personal trainer and a Los Angeles lululemon Ambassador. Simply, my mission is to equip individuals with the tools to achieve optimal health.
Currently, I lead Amazon’s global substance use disorder strategy. Prior, I successfully launched Amazon’s Neighborhood Health Centers and led the Health Care Security integration strategy for the One Medical acquisition. My experience at Seattle Children's Research Institute & Hospital, Public Health Seattle & King County, Cambia Health, University of Washington, Barry’s and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles have given me a wide breadth of experience in customer facing health experiences.
I received my B.S. from UCLA, and a Master of Public Health from the University of Washington. You’ll find me traveling the world, cooking with friends or in the gym training for my next competition.
What I Offer
I'm an accomplished healthcare innovator that balances professional excellence, the joy of fitness, and personal development through the practice of perseverance. I offer expertise in creating customer-centric healthcare products, program management, public health interventions, fitness coaching and consulting.
Healthcare changes everyday, and innovation is key to customer engagement. I’ve built and scaled multiple health programs across diverse, global populations. If you are looking to ensure customers are delighted by your experience, I can help.
Health program development
Through the practice of repetition, I gained skills and knowledge that propelled me to where I am today. I lead a global health strategy, and prioritize my personal health and community connections. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s possible. Let’s talk about how you can practice this in your own life.
Speaking engagements
I have weight lifted for over 18 years, opened boutique studios and have trained clients for the last 7 years in group fitness and 1:1 coaching. I take a strength based approach to coaching, and thrive with clients who are excited to focus on form and function. I’m available to teach group fitness classes, or to consult on fitness startups/gym development.
