David is (yet another!) Aggie, who studied both health education and EMS while attending Texas A&M Unitversity. David now holds a degree in education, with specialties in health and biology.

David has been an EMT since 1982 and a paramedic since 1988. Starting out as a firefighter in Houston, David migrated to rescue and eventually EMS at a time when the field was truly coming of age. David has also worked extensively in the clinical setting, as a tech in dialysis, ED, ICU/CCU, medical laboratory and even clinical research.

A life-long teacher, David has been teaching EMS-related classes since first obtaining his EMT certification over 20 years ago. In addition to his appointment here at Temple College as part-time faculty, David also teaches for the Texas A&M Medical School and Scott & White’s post-graduate physician training programs.

David most recently was the Director of Pre-Hospital Services at Scott & White Hospital, where he oversaw the operations of the EMS, non-emergency medical transportation, dispatch, critical care transport and air-medical helicopter programs. David now co-owns and operates a private ambulance company in Central Texas.
