With a lifelong background in competitive athletics and a deep commitment to technical excellence, David brings a wealth of knowledge to every training session.
David has a distinguished history as a player, having competed at various levels of beach and indoor volleyball. His understanding of the game's mechanics—from footing in deep sand to the physics of a perfect serve—is rooted in years of on-court trial and error and professional success.
His coaching career is defined by a passion for technical precision and mental fortitude. David specializes in breaking down complex movements into manageable steps, helping athletes of all levels build a solid foundation of fundamentals while pushing them to explore their competitive limits.
In 2022, David and co-founder Megan Bisbee realized their dream of building a premier sand volleyball facility on their property in Spokane. David’s hands-on approach was instrumental in developing the professional-grade courts and training infrastructure that define Mountain Beach Academy today.
At Mountain Beach Academy, David focuses on technical skill refinement and strategic game planning. His goal is to empower athletes to take ownership of their development and compete with confidence, ensuring they reach their absolute potential on and off the court.
