Graduating this year with his master's degree, David Holford discovered his passion at Fresno State.

David, head athletic trainer for Fresno Football Club, had an ah-hah realization after mistakenly enrolling in an introductory athletic training course. It made him realize the wonder and excitement he had as a kid watching his dad's work as a healthcare instructor.

David went on to earn his undergraduate degree from Fresno State in the spring of 2014. Just over six months later, he began working as the athletic trainer for Fresno Fuego and Fresno Freeze, Fresno’s male and female amateur football clubs.

While still maintaining his positon with the two clubs and later beginning a master’s degree in kinesiology at Fresno State, Holford accepted the athletic trainer position at McLane High School, where he would stay for the next three years.

“Everything that I’m doing is for this town to make it better because we’re making this thing last, and it will,” he said.
