Marked by Spirit: Christ Consciousness, Tattoos, and The Ego

As the founder of the Breathe for Wellness Functional Breathing Foundation, Inc., David is a pioneer in Restorative Functional Breathwork and the creator of the Carbon Dioxide Advantage™ technique. His journey began with a life-changing encounter with functional breathing in 2017, which helped him overcome personal health challenges. Inspired by his granddaughter’s struggles, David dedicated himself to research and self-experimentation, developing practical methods to improve breathing efficiency and enhance physical and emotional health.

David’s early years in San Antonio were marked by a natural curiosity and a passion for learning. A proud U.S. Army veteran, he went on to build a career in finance, explore his creative talents as a professional musician, and master culinary arts before embarking on his wellness journey. These diverse experiences, coupled with a profound spiritual awakening rooted in the teachings of Christ, have shaped his compassionate approach to teaching and mentoring.

Through his writing and his foundation’s work, David shares a powerful message: “You are either Breathing for Wellness or Breathing for Dis-ease.” His unique blend of personal stories, spiritual insights, and actionable guidance invites readers to embrace the transformative power of functional breathing, offering a path to inner peace, physical vitality, and spiritual growth.

David’s commitment to wellness extends beyond breathing techniques. At Bee’s Wellness Café, he and Brook create a space where community, education, and holistic wellness converge. Their work reflects their shared vision of a healthier, more harmonious world—one breath, one mindful choice at a time.
