David

Administrative Assistant

David Griffith works with APTW remotely from his hometown of Strasburg, PA, but he is no stranger to Aberdeen. His father was born and raised in the area, and he himself helped to install a ceiling in one of the clinic’s treatment rooms when he was 16. As the clinic’s administrative assistant, he balances a passion for organization with a love of helping others.

David has previously worked in education as a teacher of English, social studies, and mathematics, later serving as an administrator and instructional coach. He has also directed theatrical productions, worked as a bookseller at Moyer’s Book Barn, and provided logistical and administrative support to organizations in his church and community. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Millersville University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 2017. 

When he isn’t working, David enjoys cooking, decorating, and writing. He is an avid reader and watcher of television and is deeply interested in music, theatre, liturgy/theology, politics, and family history.
