About David
Biography
I was born and raised in Franklin County, Missouri. I served in the Unites States Marine Corps and then began my 13 year career in law enforcement. In law enforcement, I served the Franklin County community, and was a Detective for the Franklin County Sheriff's Department as I attended law school. Since entering the legal profession as an attorney, I have served not only as a private practice attorney, but also as a municipal general counsel and municipal prosecuting attorney. I served two terms as the Municipal Judge in the Sullivan, Missouri Municipal Court. I began serving as the 1st Assistant Crawford County, Missouri Prosecuting Attorney on January 1, 2015. I have a diverse private practice and frequently serve as a court appointed guardian ad litem.
