David Robles is a Program Supervisor at the largest therapeutic residential non-profit in Oregon. For the last nine years he has worked with programs in California and Oregon where he has provided moment to moment support and therapeutic intervention to youth in need.

He is also a second degree black belt in American Kenpo, dabbles in Brazilian Jiu-jitzu, is an esteemed member of Fort Liberty, and invests a disproportionate amount of his life in the valued pastimes of meal prep and personal grooming.

David is one of Daniel's closest friends. They have traveled distant lands together\u2013and one trip, it would not be hyperbole to say\u2013was a true quest. They have bled together through both the creation of stories and more so through the living of our own.

He has stood by Daniel during the most difficult moments of Daniel's life, embodying his values of safety, consistency, and not too much nor too little predictability. David's success in the betterment of himself and others has been a slow burn, amateur trending professional, and while he may not yet be the most interesting man in the world, there's still some black in his beard so there\u2019s probably time.

Through sustained immersion within the teachings of great minds, and like Ron and Daniel aspire to do through Cutting For Sign, he has become increasingly articulate and emotionally aware, and yet remains shamelessly, and charmingly flawed. He values the light, the dark, the shadows between, that the cat is both be in and not in the box, the pursuit of mental stability amidst the chaos, heightened cognitive and physical performance, philosophy, religious experience, solution based thinking, nuanced and effective trauma therapy, and a continued drive to embody the truth at the core of the shortest poem in the English Language\u2013 "Me, we."
