David’s interest in fitness as a lifestyle began in the service of others. He performed Seva (a Sanskrit term for selfless service) for a yoga community for a number of years.

Through this process he was able enhance his own personal practice through service to the community in general, and to individuals within the community specifically. Through his role as a personal trainer and fitness coach, David continues to serve others by aiding, coaching and motivating people to achieve their fitness goals.

David is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Health Education with nutrition specialization and a coaching certificate. He holds an undergraduate degree in jazz guitar performance and performs throughout the SF Bay Area both leading his own groups and as a sideman with various ensembles.
