Hi, I’m Dave, a behavioral health clinician and researcher interested in how we can build better systems for real people.

My work sits at the intersection of neurodivergence, mental health, and trauma-informed care, moving between research, clinical practice, education, and program design.

Before healthcare, I spent eight years producing creative film and media projects. Turns out, the skills transfer: get curious, understand the need, make a plan, bring the right people together, and build something creative and useful.

These days, the medium is different but the love for what I build with and for my community is the same.
