- Dave has spent decades advocating for Social Justice, Civil Rights, Voter Rights, Gender Equality, Peace, LGBTQ+ Rights, Environmentalism, and Human Rights in Kentucky and New Mexico. 
 
- Beginning as an historian and professor at the College level, he began a detailed historical study of the delicate dance between religion and national politics giving rise to his personal understanding of the history of Christian Nationalism. 
 
- Living in the Permian Basin, his passion for environmental justice has been accentuated by the explosive increase in fossil fuel extraction in the Permian Basin. 
 
- As a part of his activism, Dave has spoken at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Madrid, Spain and the White House before the Biden Administration’s Commission on Climate Change.
