David Wheeler, Executive Director & Classroom Instructor
David has over 27 years of experience helping individuals of varying ages, abilities, and backgrounds from across southcentral Kentucky build better, more inclusive lives in the community. His journey in the field of developmental and behavioral health services began in the early 1990’s when substantial systems-change efforts in Kentucky were beginning to emerge. Over the following two decades he was instrumental in helping promote and facilitate services to meet people’s needs and expectations – moving individuals off of waiting-lists and out of facilities into services that offer choice, control and the opportunity to live a full life.
David was previously the Director of State General Fund Services for LifeSkills, Inc. He holds a BA in Human Services from Lindsey Wilson College and MSW from Western KY University. David and his wife, Serena, have two grown children – Nicholas & Kaitlin.
