Current events matter to David because they reveal values, fears, and what society stands for, helping make sense of the present and future with wisdom and purpose.
Career change matters to David because life evolves—strengths, passions, and purpose shift, making change a chance for alignment and a second chance to get it right.
Storytelling matters to David because it 'is at the core of who I am,' shaping understanding, forging connection, and revealing meaning beyond creative expression.
Baltimore Orioles matter to David because they shape his love for baseball, connect him to tradition, and embody hope and loyalty through every season.
North Carolina Tar Heels matter to David because they're 'more than a team'—a family legacy shaping identity, passion, and belief in both basketball and football excellence.
David says Indiana Hoosiers matters as 'more than fandom—it's identity, loyalty, and a lifelong connection.' Devotion runs deep, rooted in tradition and pride.
