While at Notre Dame, David was elected captain of the golf team, earned three varsity letters and received student athlete academic honors. Thereafter, he studied international law at the Notre Dame/London Law School during the summer of 1985, and ultimately earned a juris doctorate degree from the University of Notre Dame School of Law in 1987.
After law school, David worked for the prominent Texas based law firm Fulbright and Jaworski before joining Leader Enterprises, Inc. in 1989. There, its founder and esteemed sports lawyer, the late Robert Fraley, introduced and mentored him in the field of sports management and marketing.

In 1997, David co-founded SportsLink Consulting and as its managing partner built a successful and profitable firm servicing professional athletes for eleven years.
Besides his passion for sports, David enjoys traveling with his family and participating in Christian sponsored charitable activities. Born in Muncie, Indiana, David currently lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife Kelly and their sons Tyler and Matthew.
