Originally from the hills of Eastern Kentucky, David met his wife, Laura—who grew up in Strunk, Kentucky—while both were living in Somerset.

Team Member Visibility

For security reasons, not all of our team members are listed publicly on this website. Some serve and travel in sensitive international environments where publicly available personal information could create unnecessary risk or limit their ability to continue their work.

We want to be clear—this is not an effort to avoid transparency. City for the Nations operates with clear accountability, leadership oversight, and responsible governance. This approach is simply about protecting those serving in areas where discretion is necessary.
