David was graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Forestry Products.

Himself an Eagle Scout, David served many years in Boy Scout leadership. He saw both sons, Daniel and Nathan, reach the rank of Eagle Scouts. A dedicated hunter, David was at home in the wild, and was active in The Texas Youth Hunting Program.
