After completing his degree, he transitioned to the Information Services department at Beaumont, where he worked until his retirement in 2011.
Outside of work, David found joy in spending time with his family, particularly on the beautiful lakes of Northern Michigan. He cherished fishing, boating, camping, and simply being in nature.
