David received his J.D. from Yale Law School, where he was the Development Editor of the Yale Journal of International Law, and his B.A. from Gonzaga University. After law school David clerked on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Before joining Perkins, David was the Assistant Director of the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law & Equality at Seattle University School of Law, where he focused on civil rights appeals and helped draft -- and testified in favor of -- the Washington State Voting Rights Act. On the weekends, David uses his key to St. Anne's basketball court to put together weekly pick up games where he does a spot-on impersonation of Jeff Hornacek (minus the shooting ability and minus the basketball skills).
