PASSION FOR HELPING OTHERS
David believes financial literacy is one of the most valuable life skills a person can develop. He recognizes that many adults were never formally taught how to budget, manage credit, save effectively, or plan for the future. His goal is to help people replace uncertainty with understanding and to show that financial success comes from mastering practical habits rather than chasing quick fixes.
David has been a certified SCORE mentor since 2020, where he has coached entrepreneurs across all aspects of building a business, including marketing, operations, personnel, and product development.
In his role supporting the Money 101 Education program, he focuses on personal finance, helping individuals organize their finances, prepare a personal financial statement, understand cash flow, and create a clear roadmap toward stability and long-term wealth before beginning their entrepreneurial journey. He believes solid planning meaningfully increases the likelihood of success.
He is especially motivated by seeing people gain clarity and confidence as they begin making smarter decisions for themselves and their families.
David’s warm, approachable style helps students feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. He believes that no matter where someone starts, it is never too late to improve financial knowledge and take positive steps forward.
