Background
David first developed an interest in efficiency in general as an undergraduate student majoring in business at North Carolina State University when he saw how important and impactful efficiency can be across every organizational process. During graduate school, David was a two-time EDF Climate Corps fellow, first with North Carolina Central University, the program’s first university host, and then with St. Paul A.M.E Chuch, the program’s first house of worship.
