When asked how he segued from banking to public policy, David says, “I was a volunteer at the Indo-American Center in Chicago, where I taught civics courses to prepare recent immigrants for the U.S. citizenship exam. I found a different level of satisfaction in helping members of the community begin a new life in the United States. … I believe I can have a more direct impact working in public policy than in other areas.

Among David’s interests are music, theater, and writing. At Lake Forest College, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree, he was awarded a theater scholarship for four years. He also wrote and produced two rap albums and performed at various shows and concerts on campus. David was also involved with the International Student Organization on campus.
