David owns Talon LPE, an environmental cleanup company that operates across several states, and that real-world experience shapes how he thinks about the city\u2019s biggest challenges. But as he shares in this conversation, serving on council has come with its share of new challenges to address. We talk honestly about what that\u2019s looked like \u2014 the pressure, the criticism, and the reality of making decisions when there isn\u2019t an easy answer. David doesn\u2019t shy away from the harder parts of the job, including how certain votes have played out and what it\u2019s like to navigate those moments publicly. Our conversation also turns to some of the biggest issues facing Amarillo right now, from long-term water concerns to the ongoing discussion around the Fermi data center, and what it will take for the city to build something sustainable and lasting. David has a way of making complex topics feel approachable without oversimplifying them. He\u2019s thoughtful, direct, and willing to say what he actually thinks \u2014 even when it\u2019s uncomfortable. And somewhere in the middle of all that, he\u2019s also pretty funny. This is a conversation about leadership, responsibility, and what it really takes to move a city forward. ","author_name":"Hey Amarillo","author_url":"http:\/\/heyamarillo.com","html":"
