David always had an interest in the arts growing up, but he just didn’t quite know what to do with it. During his junior year of high school, however, he attended a class trip to Italy with his industrial-arts class, where he discovered his passion for architecture and thus cemented his desired career path.

David started working as an intern architect for BLTa, before it merged with Perkins Eastman, shortly after graduating from Philadelphia University, and has risen to an associate principal after more than 20 years of practice. He is now heavily involved in recruiting and training the next generation of architects. When not mentoring in studio, David can often be found on the soccer pitch, having coached both of his kids and served as an executive board member in his township’s youth soccer program, teaching life skills of teamwork and collaboration both in the studio and on the field.
