David Lockett is a business person & social entrepreneur involved in consulting & marketing in the transportation sector and  a volunteer within the charitable sector.

Over the last 33 years David has utilized his business skills and principals filtered through unconditional kindness to co-found and lead 2 charities; The Redwood Shelter (a sanctuary for victims of domestic violence) and the Pact Urban Peace Program (a series of programs designed to support underserved youth & community members). 
The Redwood Shelter opened on December 13, 1993 and from that day forward all of the 33 beds have been continually occupied. The Pact Urban Peace Program became a registered charity in February 1995. Collectively as a result of David’s vision, leadership, passion and unconditional kindness these two charities have positively impacted the lives of over 15,000 people within the youth courts, educational system and the community.
