With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University as well as renovator of two historic homes in Richmond’s Church Hill neighborhood, David has been involved in community revitalization efforts for twenty-five years. Gaining initial experience in land use and zoning issues by serving in numerous civic capacities in the neighborhood, David founded a local non-profit, the Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods (ACORN), to address the overabundance of vacant houses.
The organization’s primary program focused on obtaining clear property titles to vacant houses and finding qualified buyers to rehabilitate them. For these efforts, David was selected as a top semi-finalist for the prestigious Volvo for Life competition for his efforts in preservation and improving the quality of life in the city of Richmond’s neighborhoods in 2006. Hoping to expand the scope of ACORN’s programs, in early 2011, ACORN combined its extensive community program offering into the organizational umbrella of the Better Housing Coalition (BHC) in their newly formed Center for Neighborhood Revitalization.
Now serving as VP of that Center, David continues key property and historic tax credit programs that compliment the property development and community revitalization programs of the Better Housing Coalition.
