Attending public schools in New York City and Westchester County, he went on to major in political science at Temple University.

From 2008-2009 David attended the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, where he earned a Master's in Public Administration. It was a profoundly life-altering experience, opening David to a deeper understanding of the world while giving him unparalleled training in leadership and organizational development.
