“David has been on the front lines of battle and understands the challenges that Central Arkansas’s brave warriors face,” said Rep. Hill. “He brought to the position experience helping veterans with the VA. Over the past two years, David has faithfully served our veterans as a Military Fellow in my office, and I’m excited to have him on board as a permanent member of the team. David will continue his work in helping veterans get the care and benefits they deserve.”

“David has been an integral member of the Wounded Warrior Fellowship Program,” said Sol Jennings, Program Manager for the Wounded Warrior Fellowship Program. “His work ethic, professionalism, and commitment to other veterans, constituents, and his Congressman have been noteworthy. As a full-time member of Congressman French Hill’s staff, he will undoubtedly continue to be a force multiplier. We wish him and his family the best as he makes this transition.”
