About David
First-generation college student turned education entrepreneur. David grew up on food stamps in NYC, where he was raised by a single mother. These challenges gave him discipline and tenacity, which helped him earn scholarships from The Boys' Club to attend Middlesex School and Babson College. Studying here helped him become an investor on Wall Street and an entrepreneur in Southeast Asia. David was a part of the First SEO Career Real Estate Cohort, which led him to Oaktree ($200B AUM), Artemis Real Estate Partners ($10B AUM), and Citigroup, where he invested over $1B alongside firms like Blackstone and Apollo. After leaving Wall Street, David moved to Southeast Asia, where he became a Buddhist monk.
