Bio
Carm Bozzo
David is a true community champion that wants to make a direct impact. It is so great to see a young individual with such a passion for helping others. I have known David for a few years now as he supports Halton Women's Place and especially the Hope in High Heels event which he raises much needed funds but also raises great awareness on how boys and men can be a part of the solution in ending gender based violence. I know that through his studies and his community volunteer work he puts 100 percent in everything and will make a significant contribution to this community year after year!
Mike Quackenbush
I have worked closely with David across multiple community-based organizations and initiatives over the last six years. I met David through our collective work on the Burlington Mayor’s Millennial Advisory Committee, and local benevolent organizations in the food security space. David consistently participates while bringing forward ideas and suggestions for continual improvement of both financial and social programs. His ability to work through critical situations with confidence has always inspired me. I’ve been delighted to have opportunities to work alongside such a professional who excels through teamwork with the same integrity as seen in his everyday actions. Our similar interests in being active within our community has led to a natural friendship. I highly recommend David as a valuable contributor to any organization.
