David H. attended Marana High School where he graduated valedictorian and was a finalist for Tucson's Young Man of the Year. Subsequently, David H. continued his education at the University of Arizona, where he graduated with two Bachelor of Science degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular and Cell Biology. Throughout his tenure at the University of Arizona, David H. conducted research in the laboratory of Samuel Ward on the nematode roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. The focus of David H's research was to determine the influence of specific molecular substrates on the roundworm’s lifespan. After graduation, David H. attended the University of California, Berkeley where he studied Biochemistry with a focus on the mechanics of protein folding. Through earning both a Master’s degree and an ABD, David H. contributed to meaningful research in the laboratories of Susan Marqusee and Robert Glaeser. In the Glaeser Lab, David H. conducted x-ray scattering studies on protein solutions to determine the effect of solutes on hydrophobic interactions between protein-protein interfaces, spectroscopic studies on the folding of native Myelin Basic Protein (MBP), and the development of a micellar framework capable of inducing folding of both native and recombinant MBP. While studying Biochemistry (with a focus on protein folding) at the University of California, Berkeley, David H. became introduced to the science of Complexity, a relatively new science that seeks to accurately evaluate complex systems. After graduation, David H. began conducting independent research on complex systems to define methods and strategies for their evaluation using learning theory as a model system. In the process, David H. has been able create a systematic learning methodology that demystifies the complexities of education and, thereby, simplifies a student’s ability to rapidly acquire knowledge and understand complex subjects such as language arts, mathematics, and the sciences. In layman's terms, this methodology allows a student to learn faster with a greater degree of comprehension.
