David Scheer is a husband, father, leader, educator, entrepreneur and sacred sojourner. For 30+ years he has helped organizations craft solutions to complex business and technology problems. He strives to build deep, lasting relationships and collaborate with teams to be a catalyst for change. David completed teacher training in secondary education, but never taught high school. Rather, he was tapped by the IT sector that leveraged his technical, management and project expertise for several decades. He remained connected with education, serving in various instructional and leadership capacities for post-secondary schools. His commitment to educational sustainability started in the 1970s where global events generated new principles of mindful resource conservation. Throughout his career, David became a skilled organizational change agent for business purposes, but longed to create new organizations that would facilitate positive change for purposes closer to the human heart. As a result, David is the founder or co-founder of several companies, and in 2023 he co-founded and serves as president for The Wellness School – a diploma granting school that prepares students to be Licensed Massage Therapists. He also serves as the CFO of the school’s sister company, The Wellness Spa. His interest in the Ed.D. program is its interdisciplinary approach toward large-scale challenges. David is driven by humanity’s connection to the Divine and the relationships that spring horizontally, vertically and reflectively from that source. His research interests cluster around the question: What if we viewed Educational Sustainability through the lens of humanity’s connection to Ultimate Concerns and Ultimate Reality?
