He's won Rolex twice as a three-star and once as a four-star. He's won Fair Hill International CCI five times, and in 1997, he became only the second American in history to win the coveted Badminton CCI. Along the way, David has always felt the responsibility to give back to the sport he loves. Throughout his amazing career, he has maintained strong involvement in the administrative side of the sport. He has overseen the condensation of all horse organizations in the US under one governing body – the United States Equestrian Federation, over which he now presides. David has always enjoyed teaching and coaching - preparing talented riders to shine in international competition. As coach of the Canadian Eventing Team, he conducts training sessions, teaches lessons and provides coaching at the events for Canadian riders hoping to represent their country. Under his guidance, the Canadians won the Team Silver Medal at the 2007 Pan Am Games in Brazil.
