David didn’t take the traditional path into the space industry – and that’s exactly what makes his story so inspiring. From teaching English and proofreading textbooks in Japan to working as an access control engineer, David’s journey to ispace was driven by a lifelong passion for space and a belief in humanity’s future beyond Earth.
At our Tokyo HQ, David handles everything from office planning and safety to internal events – and he does it all with purpose and pride. Why ispace? “You can feel the passion in the air. Everyone is working toward one goal – landing on the Moon.”
Watch as David shares his path, his perspective, and his dream of cruising the lunar surface with music playing (windows down… maybe).
