“I started practicing yoga coincidentally around the same time I started practicing law. I never made much of it until I started to realize that my work - which is always in process - was to take the practice of yoga off the mat and into the rest of my life.”

David completed his 500-hour RYT at Groove with Rolf Gates and has practiced at Groove since 2010. David’s practice and teaching is focused on the breath and the connection between the breath we are taking and the larger source of life we all share (like the wave that recognizes it’s the ocean). 

During the day, David works to be the best personal injury attorney for his clients, empowering individuals to build positive change after trauma.  David’s work on the connection between law and mindfulness practices has been recognized statewide, presenting to both lawyers and judges who work throughout all of Oregon.   In 2024, David serves as the President of the Oregon State Bar.
