During the 2008 Financial Crisis, David experienced a significant mix-up with his transferred course credits that almost cost him $75,000 in scholarships from Baylor and a job offer from Hewlett-Packard, very similar to another advising mistake which had caused his brother to leave the university the very year prior. This challenge inspired David to establish DegreeSight, a technological innovation aimed at preventing such costly mistakes for students.
With 15 years of experience as a lead engineer turned product manager focused on digital transformations, David built and now steers DegreeSight with a commitment to enhancing clarity and efficiency in higher education. His mission is simply this – to increase the percentage of students who graduate and finish on time.
David lives in Austin, TX with his wife and 3 sons.
