Hi, I'm David!
I am a senior from Houston, Texas pursuing a B.S.E. in mechanical engineering at Duke University with a certificate in Materials Science & Engineering. I am passionate and interested in the fields of product design, structural analysis, and manufacturing. I want to use these skills of mine to improve the structural integrity of such products, assure that it meets customer needs, and to strive toward an innovative future.
I plan on using my degree in mechanical engineering to optimize the process of manufacturing products and reduce carbon emissions produced from said operations. With companies working toward eliminating carbon footprints, actions like these are setting modern-day society a step in the right direction.

Life as an Expat
Houston, TX: Hometown
I was born in Houston and grew up here for 6 years before my family and I moved to Aberdeen, Scotland.
Aberdeen, Scotland
My family and I lived in Scotland for 2 years. Here, I attended the International School of Aberdeen where I was exposed to numerous cultures and truly grew as an individual.
St. Johns, Newfoundland
My family and I moved to St. Johns, Newfoundland and lived there for 2 years. It definitely taught me that the cold is not for the weak.
Anchorage, Alaska
Anchorage, Alaska was the last stop on the expat tour, but a great one nonetheless. Events like the Iditarod and restaurants like Moose's Tooth ended my international travels with an exclamation point.
Fukuoka, Japan
I traveled to Fukuoka, Japan in January 2020 and the experience was like no other. Their customs and cultural practices were very interesting as I got to partake alongside them.
