For nearly 20 years, Freemasonry has been an important part of my life, providing me with countless opportunities to grow in leadership, service, and brotherhood.

I am happily married to my beautiful wife, whose love and support have been a constant blessing throughout my Masonic journey. Professionally, I serve my community as an employee of the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office, where I am committed to public service and helping others.

Within the Craft, I am a proud member of Sam Todd Lodge No. 182 in Sugartown, Louisiana, where I have had the honor of serving as Worshipful Master on two occasions and currently serve as Lodge Secretary. These roles have strengthened my dedication to preserving our traditions while helping our Lodge continue to grow and prosper.

This year marks my first year serving on the Appointed Divan of Habibi Shriners as First Ceremonial Master. It is both an honor and a privilege to serve alongside such dedicated Nobles, and I look forward to serving the Nobility of Habibi Shriners for many years to come.

I firmly believe that the Shriners support the greatest philanthropy in the world through the work of the Shriners Children’s. The opportunity to improve the lives of children and their families, regardless of their ability to pay, is a mission that inspires me every day. It is a privilege to be part of an organization whose compassion, generosity, and commitment make such a profound difference.

I remain committed to the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth, and I will continue to serve our Fraternity with humility, integrity, and dedication. It is an honor to work alongside my Masonic brothers and fellow Nobles as we strengthen our Lodges, support our Shrine, and ensure that our philanthropy continues to change lives for generations to come.

Fuelled by a deep passion for the Craft, he expanded his Masonic light by joining both the Scottish Rite and the Shrine in 2025, followed by the York Rite in 2026. Driven by a profound love for the Shriners' mission to support and heal children, David is honored to step into Divan leadership this year. He looks forward to strengthening fellowship and advancing the noble cause of Shriners Children's.

I was born in North Hollywood, Ca., grew up in Buffalo, New York and have lived in several different states during my lifetime. I am a Navy veteran, and my job was Aviation Structural Mechanic/ Inflight trouble shooter on several aircraft and flight engineer on P-3’s. I have travelled around the world working with many different people and cultures. After serving in the Navy, I worked in aviation for over 47 years managing several million-dollar programs. While in the Navy I met my now wife, Becky. We have been married for 45 years this year and have three wonderful sons, six grandsons and one granddaughter. Since retiring I have filled my free time training service dogs for veterans and first responders along with working with the RiteCare center in Lafayette.
