Past, Passions, Purpose

Past

After being accepted to five different liberal arts colleges in the area, I finally decided to go to NU for its extraordinary environment while being the least expensive option with scholarships. I was born in the Tacoma area, and have lived there since moving up to NU. My church background has been heavily non-denomination with some charismatic-style churches early on and more Presbyterian-leaning churches later. I regard myself as a Protestant with Calvinist leanings. I’m the oldest of two brothers. David means “beloved one” and I have passed on my middle name from my grandfather.

Passions

Technology is a big passion for me. I love Windows Phone and Microsoft’s new Metro-style design language. It’s responsive, intuitive, modern, and clean. Meeting people and getting to know them is another one of my passions. Just prior to college, I received a Washington State Scholar award for finishing in the top 10% of high school students in the state. I also received a “Best Stock 1970-1981” award in a Chevrolet Camaro car show. Lastly, I recently was given the responsibility of handling all of the social media for my father’s financial planning business, CK Financial Services. 

Purpose

I plan to harness my communication skills and knowledge of business and gear them towards a field in technology, whether it’s presenting the newest gadget to an audience, offering tech support, or becoming a programmer. I plan to go wherever God leads me, and am prepared to listen to the people I trust for advice. I have a lot to learn before I can make any major decisions at this point.
