The Newt Disney Service award recognizes service both to Church Farm School and the larger community, and David is a shining example of such service. In fact, it was under his leadership that the award was first established. His passion for the school is evident, and his willingness to pay it forward to today’s Griffins is extraordinary. Whether rallying alumni to support the school’s most critical fundraising needs, including our most recent Capital Campaign; to attend events both large and small at CFS; or finding ways to connect alumni with today’s students; David is always putting the school first. This is in large part due to the gratitude he feels to the school for transforming his life; he graduated in 1988. “I was a freshman sort of flailing at St. Joe’s Prep in Overbrook when my mom encouraged me to look at Church Farm School. I went for a visit, and by breakfast, I knew it was the place for me. The school provided me with the right conditions to thrive and discover who I was as an individual. Along the way, I discovered amazing mentors and made some lifelong brothers.”
In addition to his work with Church Farm School, David serves on the Board of Directors for the United Way of Chester County as a Community Impact Council Co-Chair. We are grateful to David for working so diligently over the past 12 years on behalf of the Alumni Association and the school.
