About

Building the Future,
One Venture at a Time

I'm an entrepreneur, strategist, and aspiring public servant passionate about startup culture and technology. My skill development is anchored in Marketing Synthesis, Business Formation, Investment Advisement, and Blitzscaling.

My primary focus is legal technology — I plan to found my own legaltech firm, leveraging the intersection of law and innovation to solve access-to-justice challenges at scale. I'm a Venture Institute Fellow and currently writing my debut book, Two Cages.

Two Cages

Some cages are built around you. Others you build yourself. The hardest work is learning to tell the difference.

Two Cages is David's debut book — an examination of the dual forces that constrain human ambition: the external systems designed to limit what's possible, and the internal narratives we adopt when we stop believing we can escape them.

Drawing on his own journey navigating entrepreneurship, race, and ambition, David offers practical and philosophical tools for dismantling both. Coming soon.
