David has served as our Youth Coordinator since November 2013 and is charged with leading our high school and middle school teens closer to Christ through religious education, sacrament preparation, retreats, service projects, and fellowship. David has been a member of the parish since 1992, even doing his own youth formation here! When asked why he chose to work at St. Benedict, he simply replied, “Because it is my home.”

David graduated from Arizona State University in May 2013 with Bachelor Degrees in Sociology and Religious Studies. He continued to pursue his education after college and graduated from Grand Canyon University in November 2016 with a Masters of Christian Studies with an Emphasis in Youth Ministry. David is also enjoying his new role as a married man, as he received the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony with his now wife, Marley, in November 2017. When David is not working at the parish or spending time with his wife, he enjoys working out, going to the movies, and watching his favorite football team: the Green Bay Packers. He loves the community here and greatly enjoys helping the youth of the parish develop their faith in God.
