David Whitaker

I'm a software engineer, woodworker, pilot, and father of four writing daily scripture reflections built around one passage and one practical takeaway.

I tend to write the way I build a table or a set of shelves: slowly, square if I can manage it, and honest about which parts took more work than I thought they would. Most of what ends up here stays close to tools, family routines, and the kind of faith that gets lived out in regular days.

I grew up in Bountiful, learned to love capable work from my father, and carried that instinct into both software engineering and woodworking. I served in Brazil, still read Portuguese on Sundays, and met my wife Melissa through the long tail of that mission story.
