After one year of serving as assistant coach in 2006 at the University of Central Florida, David is excited to once again be a part of the UCF Wrestling team. David is a 4X Florida state place winner, and a 4X NCWA All-American finishing 3^rd, 2^nd, 2^nd, and 4^th at the 125 lbs. and 133 lbs. weight classes. Before finishing his eligibility in 2005, David was a member of the 2X back-to-back national championship team. David will bring an abundance of knowledge to the team, as he was a particularly technical wrestler and believes that maintaining dominance through controlled chaos and sound technical skill are essential for becoming a great college level wrestler. David went to high school in LaBelle, Florida where he was a team captain on the wrestling team. And held the position of captain on the UCF Wrestling team his senior year.

While he was wrestling at UCF, David completed his Bachelor’s degree in English literature. He helped coach the team before enlisting in the United States Army. In September of 2009, he received an Honorable discharge and returned to Orlando with hopes of becoming a teacher in the area so that he can continue coaching the UCF Wrestling team.
