He carried this same mindset into academics, continuously pursuing goals that required focus and commitment. Each achievement during those formative years reflected a balance of persistence and humility that continues to guide his professional conduct. Lipan found particular growth through golf, a sport that became a central part of his youth.

Earning promotion as an honors caddy reflected his capacity to exceed expectations, a pattern that would remain present in his later career in service. David pursued higher education in Business Management with a minor in Spanish, balancing academic demands with professional and personal development. His consistent recognition on the Dean’s List and receipt of scholarships showed dedication to learning. A finance project during his final semester revealed an interest in investment strategy, where he demonstrated careful risk-taking by committing to a single stock during market volatility. This experience shaped his understanding of decision-making, which now complements his service career.
