David brings an extensive in-house background to his real estate practice. After first joining Husch Blackwell’s real estate team as a new law school grad in 2002, David went on to accept an in-house role with a restaurant franchisee, working with hospitality properties nationwide. He later became general counsel for one of southwest. Missouri’s largest residential and commercial contractors before moving into the vertical farming and controlled environmental agriculture space. Most recently, David served as manager and general counsel for indoor farming startup Silo Farms, LLC—an experience that put him firmly in the client’s shoes.

David rejoined the firm in late 2024 and currently focuses his practice on commercial real estate sales, acquisitions, leases, and other transactions. He draws on his experience in hospitality, retail, and residential property to work with clients in a wide variety of industries. He also has a special focus as the firm grows its services in alternative farming: with an insider’s understanding of the challenges of indoor agriculture, David seeks to help clients looking to launch and grow the farming operations that will support the world’s future food stability.
