David was raised in New Thought had a profound awakening at age 13, after which he dedicated his life to helping others.
He became a licensed Religious Science Practitioner in 1999 and graduated from the University of New Mexico with honors in Child Development and Family Relations. In 2004, David co-founded the New Thought Center for Spiritual Living and served as its Senior Minister for 15 years.
He was inducted into the Martin Luther King, Jr. Board of Preachers at Morehouse College in 2009. A social justice activist, he has served on the Board of Directors for the Community of Welcoming Congregations, a Portland-based alliance with the mission of ‘providing a voice for LGBTQ and allied people of faith.’ Rev. David writes a monthly column – ‘Philosophy in Action’ – for Science of Mind magazine and received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from the Centers for Spiritual Living in 2014. In 2015 Dr. David was inducted into the College of Bishops and Affirming Faith Leaders by the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries and in 2016 was recognized with a Force for Good Award from Unity of Sacramento.
He currently served as director of Strategic Alliances for the Centers for Spiritual Living, where he helps direct and coordinate partnerships between organizations in order to foster the creation of a world that works for all.

On page 315 of the Science of Mind textbook, Dr. Holmes writes: “Energy unconnected does nothing, it is only when it is used properly directed, that it accomplishes things.” We always have three choices: run away from our problems, stay and fight the problem, or properly direct the energy to transcend the problem. Spiritual Mind Treatment is the form of affirmative prayer I learned when I came out of desperation to this teaching in 1986.
I stayed because of how connected I felt to the message of Dr. Holmes, as it was presented by Dr. Kennedy Shultz. Volunteering and taking every class available became my favorite things to do. Becoming a Practitioner was a goal I achieved in 1996, which is when I felt called to ministry. After serving as Senior Minister in two pulpits, I retired from ministry in 2013, however, I will always remain an active Practitioner.

From the moment the words of Ernest Holmes’ classic, The Science of Mind, clicked within me and helped illuminate a path to the Divine Presence within—I knew that becoming a Licensed Spiritual Practitioner was the path for me.
As Holmes writes in The Science of Mind, “To suppose that the Creative Intelligence of the Universe would create man in bondage and leave him bound would be to dishonor the Creative Power which we call God” (25). No one is immune or exempt from the opportunities that life uniquely disguises as “problems” or “challenges.” Holmes affirms what we deeply know—that this Creative Intelligence which created us also equipped us with the tools to not only get out of bondage but to flourish, prosper and succeed. This teaching has provided me with practical ways to address the myriad of opportunities to prove the principle, and how it constantly works
As a Licensed Spiritual Practitioner, I see my role as a midwife of spiritual consciousness—to assist in uncovering a limiting idea or notion and bringing forth a new thought or new awareness that leads to transformation.

It is a pleasure serving at SCLA.

I live, practice and demonstrate spiritual truths, helping others use the art and skill of affirmative prayer to break old patterns that no longer work or serve them, showing them how to move through life experiencing wholeness as joy, health, prosperity and overall success.
I believe the greatest gift we can give is to know someone as whole, complete and perfect. As we treat for someone, we are knowing their perfection and empowering them to see that for themselves.
