David retired from the U.S. Army in 2020 after a committed 20-year military career. His journey began with a four-year enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps, followed by earning a degree in Information Technology from the University of Houston. After working in the corporate sector for three years, the events of September 11, 2001, inspired him to return to service, where he focused on the care and welfare of soldiers both overseas and at home.

​

Following his military retirement, David became a devoted dog dad to French Bulldogs, rekindling his lifelong love for animals. Recognizing the challenges of leaving pets alone for extended periods, David sought a way to balance his passion for service with his dedication to his pets. This led him to volunteer with a local organization, preparing and delivering meals to those in need. 

​

As a member of the Paw Time Favorite Pet Sitting team, David is thrilled to extend his service by helping care for the extended pet family, providing much-needed companionship and attention to pets while their owners are away.
