David Lippman

David is proud to have the opportunity to cover sports in the Coachella Valley.

He grew up in Portland, but moved to New Orleans for college. He graduated from Tulane University with degrees in Finance and Marketing, but journalism was always his passion.

David got his start in the Sports department at KATU-TV in Portland, helping cover the Trail Blazers, Pac-10 football, high school rivalries and more.

He gained a new appreciation for the role games, teams, and players can have in a community during his time in New Orleans. He witnessed “The Big Easy” regain its enjoyment of life when the Saints played their first game in the Louisiana Superdome after Hurricane Katrina and it proved to him sports can have a profound impact that never shows up on a scoreboard.
