About David

David writes from Hong Kong. Born in the United States, his career has spanned alternative dispute resolution, sustainable global security, international and community development, sustainable finance and investment, and screenwriting. He’s lived in Asia since 2005, first in rural Thailand, helping local government officials and community members develop project management skills and now in Hong Kong. A self-styled polymath, David’s writing captures elements of science and nature, business and finance, and arts and letters to create substantial and consequential stories.
