David Leong is an interdisciplinary urbanist educator, researcher, author, and practitioner interested in multiple intersections of leadership development, faith & spirituality, urban geography, housing & economic justice, and community development. I'm a curious researcher and praxis-oriented teacher seeking whole communities, thriving neighborhoods, and places where genuine socioeconomic diversity can flourish. As a third-generation Asian American, I'm especially interested in serving AAPI+ & BIPOC communities.
