David attended HSU from 1973-1975, earning a degree in Natural Resources. Returning to Santa Cruz after graduation, he started my own small consulting firm, Kmetovic and Associates, primarily writing Environmental Impact Reports under CEQA criteria. He then moved to the Bay Area, working for larger firms, followed by a move to Portland to begin a family. His last position as a Project Manager was for Intel, managing the design and construction of a large cryogenic nitrogen system. 

His time at Humboldt was inspiring; being in the presence of dedicated professors such as Stanley Harris is something he still appreciates over 50 years later.

At Humboldt, David also grew to love basketball, playing weekends in the old gym. At 73, he says he is lucky to still be running full court. He's written an appreciation piece that is planned to appear soon.
