David Collie

Client Services Associate

I am Berkeley’s Client Services Associate, where I joined the team in 2024! I attended Boise State University where I studied English Rhetoric and Creative Writing. During that time, I worked as a journalist and writing tutor, which instilled a passion for learning, teaching, and sharing knowledge with others. I chose to study English because I love communication and the ways we use language to connect with others. I believe language should be used to make things simple, and I am excited by the challenge of sharing complex topics with people in a way that is easy to understand. 

Life Outside Work

I have lived in several states throughout the west, but I moved to Idaho in 2011 and consider Boise to be my home. I can never get enough of Idaho’s nature or the wonderful Boise River, and I plan to live here for many years to come. 

When I’m not in the office, I like to try new hobbies and push myself outside of my comfort zone. Over the last few years I have begun rock climbing, making espresso, backpacking, and completing my first marathon! I am always looking to experience new things, especially in nature, and I can’t wait to see what new hobbies find me next.
