David’s Story
More than a patient.
A whole person.
David is an engineer, an oldest sibling, a returned missionary, a robotics guy who ended up deep in software quality and regulatory compliance. He also happens to be living with kidney failure. This is his story — told in his own words and spirit.

How David describes life on dialysis
“You can do things, but everything takes more effort and the margin for error disappears.”
David's journey, in chapters
CHILDHOOD
Born with one kidney — Sacramento, California
David grew up in Northern California as the oldest of five children. His mother was a homemaker and muralist; his father, a high school teacher. He graduated early, served a two-year LDS mission in Germany, and returned with the kind of discipline that would define his career.
EDUCATION
Engineering, Software Quality & Medical Device Experience
After earning an AA in Design Drafting Engineering from Ricks College and a Manufacturing Engineering Technology degree from BYU, David began his professional career with a brief role at a robotics software company. He then moved into Software Quality and Process Controls, building a long-term career in the medical device industry, including work at OEC Medical Systems and later Varex Imaging.
2007
Surgery leads to acute kidney failure
A surgery meant to correct a narrowing defect led to complications. David began peritoneal dialysis within the year — his one kidney no longer able to keep pace. What followed was a new kind of routine: clinical, demanding, and relentless.
2009
His brother gives him 15 more years
David's brother donated a kidney, and with it, gave David back his life. Fifteen years of health, work, relationships, and moments he might otherwise have missed. He does not take a single one for granted.
NOW
The kidney was damaged — and David's on dialysis again
Medication-related damage eventually took the transplanted kidney. David is back on dialysis — three sessions a week, each one managing what healthy kidneys do automatically. Low appetite, nausea, and severe anemia from fatigue are now everyday companions. He describes it as living at 8% battery.

In David's words
"My kidneys are barely functioning and it's been a challenge dealing with all the health issues that come with kidney failure. Seeking a living donor to help change my situation and give back some years of health, memories, and moments I thought I might not get to have."
"Even if you cannot donate, you can help just by sharing this post or spreading the word."
