Meet David
I’m an Alameda parent with kids at Otis Elementary and Bay Farm Middle School, and the creator of Alameda Young Naturalist Club. AYNC combines my wide range of interests which makes for fun, hands-on, nature-based experiences for kids. My background includes teaching Art and Outdoor Education. I’m presently a student of permaculture and nature-based psychology. I love to hike, build, make art, read and spend time with family and friends. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have a Master’s in Spiritual Formation and Leadership.
“David's knowledge, spirit, experience, and demeanor was tailor-made to show our kids the wonder of the surprisingly rich natural world right here in Alameda. David pulls back the veil of our modern world to show kids the magic of the natural one they live in; how to appreciate and live with it. My kids come home aglow and enriched after each session.”
