About David

Every story begins somewhere, and David’s began in Atlanta, Georgia. Born and raised in the city, with time also spent on his family’s farm, he thrived in academics and athletics. David went on to graduate from Vanderbilt University, Dallas Theological Seminary, and completed post-graduate studies at Columbia Theological Seminary.

For over thirty years, David has been a leader and corporate trainer with the Juice Plus+ Company, working with hundreds of men and women across America. David has the heart of a teacher, and invests his days coaching and mentoring people in their personal and professional growth. The two, he believes, always go hand in hand.

For all of his business achievements, the highlight of David’s story is his relationship with Sally. A lifelong Tennessean—and before her retirement as a teacher at Nashville’s Oak Hill School—Sally and David were married in 1996. Together, they have six children and nineteen grandchildren.
