David oversees his firm’s engineering department after decades working as a consulting civil engineer in communities across the American West. He is a 1994 graduate of the South Dakota School of Mines and spent 12 years in the Army and Army Reserve as an Engineer Officer before that career ended because of injuries sustained in Afghanistan. For The Havok Journal, he writes largely from the perspective of an engineer and Afghanistan veteran, with recurring work on military service, veteran life, engineering, and occasional personal reflection.
