David was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1963.
David graduated from Cumberland High School in 1981 and attended Rhode Island Junior College that fall. David started working for St. Johnsbury Trucking Company, where he first became a Teamster, in Lincoln Rhode Island in early 1983 working under the National Master Freight Agreement and became a full-time regular employee in 1986.
St. Johnsbury Trucking was a victim of deregulation and shut its doors in June of 1993. Within days of St. Johnsbury closing David began working at Red Star Express in Seekonk, MA. and became a full-time regular employee there. In June of 1999, David and his family relocated to Florida where he began working at Overnite Transportation, knowing there was an effort to organize the company in progress.
After 9 years and an attempt to organize, David became a Teamster again when UPS purchased Overnite Transportation and a “card check” organizing campaign resulted in UPS Freight workers joining the Teamsters. David immediately began representing his coworkers as a Teamster Shop Steward and enforcing the new UPS Freight contract.
Since joining Local 769 David has regularly been involved and active in the Local. In January of 2018, David sat in negotiations and took notes on the National Master UPS Freight Agreement on behalf of the IBT and Local 769.
David was hired as a Teamsters Local 769 Business Agent in October of 2019, to represent ABF, YRC, UPS Freight and Crowley Liner Services as well as workers in other trucking related industries.
David currently resides in Royal Palm Beach Florida with his wife and they have four adult children.
