A retired US Navy chief petty officer, David earned his BA at San Diego State University (Spanish, Sociology) and a subsequent teaching credential (English Language Arts) at National University. He has been a regular speaker and song leader at Mission Valley Community Chapel and at various gospel outreaches, providing weekly Bible studies and pastoral visitations at multiple convalescent homes in the San Diego area. His greatest passion guiding his teaching and writing is to convey a clear concept of the gospel, presenting the evidence of fulfilled prophecy, the resurrection of Christ, the historical judgments of God, and the obvious purpose and design in creation, which renders those who willfully ignore the evidence as "without excuse" (Romans 1:1–20). David's spiritual journey began in the early days of his naval career during the night watches he stood aboard the USS Midway in 1973. Having rejected religion as wishful thinking in the minds of those who refused to accept the notion that, after all, we just don't know what lies beyond grave, he sought to engage others in honest conversations about eternity—all with little satisfaction. Finally addressing his concern heavenward in a "God, if you're there" fashion, he was led to search out and find the multilayered prophetic, scientific, historic, and legal evidence that unmistakably points to the Lord Jesus Christ. Receiving Christ as his Savior on December 28, 1973, he experienced the joy of growing in the knowledge of Christ and making him known to all who will sincerely seek him.view less
