Portrait of David Baxter

Hi there!
I'm David Baxter.

Career

I currently lead Biola University's Video + Photo Marketing team.

Building upon each successful project, I’ve grown the team from just one person (me!) to a thriving team of about 15.

I love the variety of projects my team works on — from ads, to events, to photos, to podcasts.

Each day brings a new, exciting, creative challenge — but my focus is always on telling Biola’s story to the next generation of students.

I also do part-time contract work for Oasis Church — primarily around video and network engineering.

Free Time

I love a good adventure.

In my free time, you'll likely find me hiking, biking, camping, or otherwise exploring some of the magnificent natural sites our world has to offer.

My bucket list will be complete only after visiting all the national parks, seeing the wonders of the world, and competing on The Amazing Race.

Space fascinates me, and one of the most awe-inspiring sites I've ever seen is a sunset rocket launch over Los Angeles.
