After 34 years as a US diplomat serving primarily in Latin America, David was motivated to enroll in the MALAS Program in pursuit of an education that will support his future plans to teach and mentor the next generation of diplomats, from the United States and Latin America, who will strengthen the ties between the United States and this vital region of the world in the coming decades.  He wrote his thesis on the role of the United States Congress in the overthrow of Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz in 1954.
