Isabella Alex
“As a child of immigrants, I was taught the virtues of hard work and the need for academic perfection, particularly as they pertain to socio-economic mobility. David helped me see those values as foundational, but far from complete. What I was missing was a clear understanding of why and how I should build industry relationships when pursuing my career. There have been countless occasions where David has provided me the necessary advice—no matter how blunt. It is his honesty and commitment to seeing myself and all of those in his network win that has made my progress to this point possible. Having known David since 2016, I know that no matter the challenge, David will be in my corner to advise and assist however possible.”

Jason Burkhart
“My name is Jason Burkhart and I’m a first-generation college graduate from Texas. Growing up, my family often couldn’t afford rent, so we frequently had to move frequently. I am now the first in my family to graduate from college, and his advice has been invaluable in helping me navigate a non-intuitive and obstacle-filled industry. The guidance David shared with me about the industry, corporate finance, interview prep, and life has been instrumental in my professional journey. David’s advice helped me put myself into positions that I thought once were unattainable, especially for people from my background.

He made me feel comfortable, and it did not take long before our friendship grew. His genuine and approachable nature is one of his most admirable qualities, making him not only a great mentor but an exceptional friend.

“David and I first met when I was an intern at Oaktree Capital Management. As an intern, David took me under his wing and mentored me. His mentorship combined with my passion for real estate positioned me to become one of the top-performing interns in Oaktree’s real estate group. David's communication style is blunt but candid. He always makes sure to put others before himself, which is particularly valuable and rare in an industry where the opposite is often true."
