David Hua is a lifelong San Diegan who attended UCSD and received a BS in Electrical Engineering in 2005. Upon finishing college, Dave joined the High Tech High family at HTHI and helped startup HTHCV in 2007, HTMCV/HTECV in 2011, and helped startup the Mesa campus in 2018 & 2019. He is excited for the 2019-20 school year as HTHCV embarks on our 13th year, HTMCV/HTECV their 9th year and the Mesa campus completely opens with HTHM in its 2nd year and HTMM/HTEM in their 1st year. It has been quite a journey but he has enjoyed every step of the way and working for such a dynamic and innovative organization.

Dave is proud to be going into his 15th year with the High Tech High family and has enjoyed learning a lot from students throughout the years. He truly enjoys working and advising students in their quest to go to college and feels lucky to have a chance to convince kids he’s not just an ordinary IT “geek” hiding in “the Dave Cave”. In his free time, he loves to spend time with his family, travel the world, go to the beach, hike/camp, eat lots of food, and root for the Chargers and Padres in his favorite city in the world, San Diego. There’s no place like 127.0.0.1 :).
