As the President of the Northern California Water Association, David brings diverse interests together (with support from an inter-disciplinary team of experts) to foster regional sustainability for farms, cities, wildlife refuges, fish and recreation in the Sacramento Valley. For the past several decades, David has worked closely with policy-makers to showcase the special attributes of California’s special places: the Sacramento Valley, Yosemite National Park and Redwood National Park. David and his wife split their time between the Sacramento Valley and the Sierra Nevada with their three children who all love good food and the outdoors.
