Autorenporträt
David is the founder of The All American Movement, and author of two new books, Pimping The Poor, and A Nation At Even Greater Risk. By day, he is a high-tech robotics executive and engineer. Beyond that he is a long-time youth basketball coach and concerned citizen who sees things others miss. He is a passionate, highly skilled problem solver, and a bit of a data wonk. He got involved in the issues after his local school district completely failed; and a few of the young men he coached got shot, and sadly, even killed. He has journeyed the country to learn from the winners, and applied analytics to upend conventional wisdom. He cares deeply about the next generation, the poor, working Americans and our nation. He is a champion for a set of innovative ideas that can impact the big socioeconomic and educational issues of our time. These solutions can bring new levels of prosperity to all, and possibly even help heal our divided nation. For more information, visit WeAreAllAmerican.org, PimpingThePoor.com and NewERASchools.com.
