David comes from a rich legacy of influential sports figures and national leaders who have played pivotal roles in shaping America.

The family legacy also includes many higher education teachers and three college presidents, further cementing their lasting impact on education, teamwork, and leadership.

David was literally born on game day – when his dad, Brian, and the New England Patriots beat the New Orleans Saints with a 7 – 0 victory. After the game (and after getting his frozen jersey cut off) Brian rushed to the hospital to join David, his mom, and his grandfather, “Big Bad Boston Bruin” Johnny “Pie” Mckenzie.
