David Preece’s life reads like a series of fascinating short stories bound together by themes of creativity, adaptability, and service to others. Growing up in a tiny Utah farming town called Pleasant View with just 900 residents, Preece admits his mother always said he was “plotting to escape” from an early age. That wanderlust led him through an extraordinary professional journey spanning seven states and multiple careers.
Now serving his second term in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Preece approaches politics with the same creativity and thoughtfulness that characterized his other careers. His political philosophy is refreshingly simple: “It’s not about me, it’s about the people who I’m representing.” As he continues to pursue new writing projects alongside his legislative duties, David Preece’s remarkable journey reminds us that reinvention is possible at any stage of life, and that creativity can find expression in countless ways.
