David and his wife, Barbara, met while students at Oklahoma Christian. During most of their engagement, Barbara taught English as a vocational missionary in Japan. At the end of her time there, David flew to Japan, and they eloped!

After completing a Master’s degree, David and Barbara moved to Vitoria, Brazil as part of a four-family mission team to plant a church there. They lived in Brazil from 1992-1999. While there, their daughters, Anna Beth and Emma, were born.

Besides his faith and family, David loves to watch pro baseball and college football.  He also feels very blessed to have a wife and two daughters who love to cook!
