David Christian is a mechanical engineer at Seatrec. Prior to joining Seatrec, David worked at American Lithium Energy, a battery R&D company where he performed machine troubleshooting and maintenance as well as lead the development of a Class III medical project. He also has a background in industrial lamination and coating machinery.

Before becoming an engineer, David started school as an art major focusing on graphic design. He took a break to serve a religious mission in Cambodia for a couple of years, which impassioned him into doing something he felt more worthwhile. He developed an interest in renewable energy and switched to Mechanical Engineering.

A modern jack of all trades, David received his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from BYU-Idaho. In his program, he focused on CAD, robotics, and manufacturing, but he also completed projects in computer vision, biomedical engineering, and MEMS. In school, he was also an active member of fencing, capoeira, bluegrass ensemble, and Native American Heritage clubs, and maintains an interest in those subjects to this day.
