David started playing badminton at the age of 8 years old when his mom signed him up for a group lesson at SBC. He quickly fell in love with the sport and started training under world-class coaches who taught him fundamental techniques and gameplay. 

In 2018, David started competing in junior tournaments. By 2023, he was ranked 1^st in the nation for both U17 singles and doubles, winning both events at the Junior National Championships. That same year, David also represented Team USA at the Junior Pan American Championships where he and his partner placed third in U17 Boys’ Doubles. 

David now competes in collegiate and local tournaments while also coaching SBC’s Competition Team. Using all the knowledge and experience he has gained from a multitude of coaches and his own badminton career, David aims to help the next generation of badminton players refine their skills and achieve their goals.
