David is entering his first season with the Nashville Jr. Predators. His journey in hockey started early. Born in Monrovia, Liberia, and raised in Pullman, Washington, and Amherst, Massachusetts, he has been involved in the sport from a young age. At Amherst Regional High School, he captained teams in three sports—football, ice hockey, and baseball—before continuing his hockey career at Williams College. His love for coaching took root in New York City, where he began coaching multiple sports at Joe Espinosa Sports Club for seven years. Later, he led the Fan Development Departments for the Tampa Bay Lightning and Atlanta Thrashers over an 11-year tenure in the NHL. After moving to Minneapolis in 2009, David became a prominent figure in the hockey community, serving as both a head coach and a goalie coach at various high schools and youth associations and St. Olaf College. His dedication to the sport is further highlighted by his role as a Minnesota Goalie Development Leader, a Level 5 USA Hockey Coach, and his work on the USA Hockey Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.
