David is the President and CEO of MinisterSearch LTD based in Dallas, Texas. He has been married to Marla for 10 years. They have three children: a daughter, Morgan, 6; and twin sons-Reed & Reece, 3. David, Marla, and their children attend The Village Church in Highland Village, Texas.
David has served in multiple leadership roles within the local church community, including being on staff, serving as a member of the deacon team, and volunteering in the creative arts, student, and children's ministries.
After college and a four-year tour in the United States Marine Corps, David began his career in the recruiting industry and landed at a $250 million/year information technology consulting firm that served multiple Fortune 500 corporations.
As David's knowledge of and success in corporate "head hunting" increased, together with his church leadership experience, he realized that there was a great need to enhance the hiring and staff development process within the church, so he founded MinisterSearch. Over the last 6 years, David and the MinisterSearch team have consulted with hundreds of churches and pastoral staff members in the areas of hiring, firing, compensation studies, development, and retention. David's passion is strategizing with church leaders to develop more effective ministry opportunities. To keep up to date with churches' needs, among other things, David regularly meets with church leaders.
David's hobbies include boating & wakeboarding, playing golf, and mountain biking. However, there is nothing David loves more than spending time with his wife and children.
