David was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma into a farming and ranching family and grew up being active in 4-H and FFA. In 1985, he moved to Arizona and graduated from Miami High School. His first career was in the electrical apparatus field; helping farmers with irrigation pumps and controls. After several years, David moved back to Globe and worked for the Department of Corrections (DOC), retiring as a Sergeant with numerous achievements within the department. In his role as a legislator, David uses his 12 years of experience in DOC to understand the needs of the corrections industry and inter-departmental administration. In the year 2000, David and his wife, Diana, pursued a life-long dream of ranching and started the DC Cattle Company. They believed a rural life would be beneficial to their two children, David Jr. and Maria, a student at Arizona State University. The entire family works on their Globe ranch together and when time permits, their grown kids get to come home. David has attended several community colleges: Eastern Arizona, Rio Salado, and Central Arizona College. He is a proud graduate of the Arizona State Universities' Certified Public Manager Program, and a strong advocate for the availability of dual enrollment programs to all rural students. David has served on the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association (ACGA) Executive Committee and Board of Directors, as Federal Lands Chairman for the ACGA, as the Federal Lands Chairman for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, is a past Young Cattlemen's Conference Chairman, board member of the Globe Miami Chamber of Commerce, on the Southern Gila County Economic Development Corporation, is a past President of the Gila County Cattle Growers' Association, past President of Gila County Sheriff's Posse, and is a past President of the Cobre Valley Republican Club.
