David is a city-licensed tour guide and volunteers with the Friends of the Cabildo, a support organization for the LA State Museum, leading tours of the French Quarter and assisting with the training of other guides. He also volunteers with the Preservation Resource Center, an organization committed to the preservation of the city’s unique neighborhoods and structures, having lectured on the city’s early history and architecture and educating first-time home buyers interested in historic neighborhoods. Knowing the story of New Orleans gives him greater understanding of the city’s historical and architectural background and plays well with his career in real estate.
He and his partner of 21 years live uptown with their five-year-old son. Their son is enrolled in a new French immersion public charter school and they donate many hours to various scholastic projects and fundraisers. His partner, a transplant from north Louisiana, adopted New Orleans after graduating from Tulane University and has been a bartender/manager at the Bourbon Pub, a popular gay bar on Bourbon Street, for nearly two decades and is currently attending real estate school himself.
The majority of David’s family resides in Greater New Orleans. His siblings and their families and his grade-school best friends and their families are no farther away than a stone’s throw. No matter where he branches out, his roots are here. He has the best interest of the city and of those willing to invest in its success and future at heart.
