Dave was first introduced to Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine while studying at a Shaolin Kung-Fu School. During a talk one day, the school master told a story of a famous general who injured his arm in battle and how the physician used acupuncture as the anesthetic while performing surgery on the general’s arm. It was upon hearing this that Dave knew instantly that he wanted to pursue this medicine as his life’s passion.

​

During acupuncture schooling, Dave had an injury to both knees from running the Sandia Crest Rim Trail (26.4 miles) that left both knees locked in pain. He sought acupuncture treatment at his school’s clinic. After the first session he walked out with 90% of his pain gone and the ability to bend and move his knees again.This treatment was another confirmation to Dave that pursuing a career in oriental medicine and acupuncture was right for him.
