Meet Our Liaisons

Behind every successful community initiative is a team of passionate individuals who make connection possible. Our liaisons are the heart of our outreach efforts—they are the trusted guides who ensure that every resident feels heard, supported, and empowered. They don’t just represent our organization; they embody our mission to build stronger, more inclusive communities.

What makes our liaisons unique is their ability to bridge gaps. They listen to your concerns, understand your needs, and work tirelessly to connect you with resources that make a real difference. Whether it’s helping families access vital services, organizing community events, or fostering partnerships with local organizations, our liaisons are there every step of the way.

Meeting our liaisons means meeting advocates who care deeply about your success. They bring diverse backgrounds, expertise, and a shared commitment to creating opportunities for growth and collaboration. Each liaison plays a vital role in shaping the future of our community, and now, we invite you to get to know them better.

He pursued education and employment opportunities that allowed him to transition off SSI and build a stable, fulfilling life. Once considered the least likely to “get it together,” David transformed his life through determination and self-advocacy.Today, David is a multi-certified addiction professional and serves as Program Manager at WestCare Gulf Coast – A Turning Point, overseeing shelter and intervention-level care for up to 65 individuals at a time. His work focuses on supporting homeless individuals struggling with substance use disorders and mental health challenges.David’s commitment to his community extends beyond his professional role. He became involved with St. Pete Hub out of a deep love for the city he calls home.

David strives to be that friend, bridging the gap between community members in need and the resources that can help them transform their lives.
