David's story is an interesting one, as his path to being a community leader and philanthropist is unusual. He's also redirected his path by listening and doing. His company, Capstone is a small non profit that has taken previously blighted or vacant lots in the Lower Ninth and developed them into productive gardens and orchards. Located in part of a food desert, Capstone grows and provides food at no cost to those who need it.
