RULING ELDER

Dave started following Jesus in middle school and has experienced God’s faithfulness for over five decades through good times and challenging times.

Dave grew up near Washington, D.C. area and attended college and graduate school in Philadelphia. He met his wife, Sue, in that area and within a few years they moved to New Hampshire where Dave taught at the business school at Dartmouth College. When the youngest of their three sons graduated from high school, Dave and Sue moved to San Diego and haven’t looked back. Dave served as dean of the business school at the University of San Diego for seven years, and since 2015 has been a faculty member teaching operations and supply chain management. 

Dave and Sue served on the original “church plant oversight team,” supporting Jonathan and Jeff as Trinity grew from an idea to a reality.  He serves as an elder at Trinity and enjoys leading community groups and spiritual formation cohorts. He loves helping others think about integrating their faith and work. 

Dave loves hikes in the mountains and walks on the beach.
