Having graduated from the Evangelical Institute (Greenville, S.C.), David began counseling in the late 80’s in Spain serving in two different churches. Helping people sort through marital struggles and other complex issues proved formative early in his career. After moving back to the U.S. David and his wife Lynn sought further training at CCEF and Westminster Theological Seminary where David earned the M.Div. degree in Pastoral Counseling. David also completed post-masters studies in Advanced Professional Counseling at Biblical Theological Seminary (Hatfield, PA).
