David served three LDS Church missions to Japan. At 19, he fulfilled a three year mission in the Northern Far East Mission. His love of Japan never diminished and he later served two missions with his wife in the Tokyo South and Tokyo North Missions.
He graduated from BYU with a bachelor's and master's degree. He obtained his PhD in chemistry from Cornell University and spent his post doctorate research at Northwestern University. David served over thirty years as a professor at the University of Utah. He was Chair of the Fuels Engineering and Chemical Engineering Departments and Associate Dean of the College of Mines and Earth Sciences.
He spent sabbaticals in Japan and Australia. David's research accomplishments live on through his students and his many academic publications. David loved service. He fulfilled many Church callings at all levels.
