Psychologist, Lawyer, Diversity Trainer

I did not choose David, but rather I think I was persuaded. He came to see me after hearing I was interviewing for my film. I had met him through Victor Lewis when they were both working for the Oakland Men’s Project. He told me that it was important to have a gay and Asian person in the film. I am not sure whether he suggested himself or led me to that conclusion, but he was perfect for the film. He has a way about him that is direct, yet persuasive – much like a lawyer, which he is. He has a keen sense of taking what seems very complex and making it into a simple, yet important point.
