David Baker began his healthcare career in respiratory therapy after earning an Associate of Science in Respiratory Therapy from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 1993. He later returned to UAMS and earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2005.

In 2008, David completed his graduate education at Texas Wesleyan University and earned a Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesia. His progression from respiratory therapy to nursing and advanced practice in nurse anesthesia reflects his lifelong commitment to education, professional growth, and exceptional patient care.

Outside of his professional career, David is the proud father of two sons, Collin Paul and Jon David.
