David L. Bales, President
David Bales was born and raised in Austin, Texas. He attended Arizona State University, where he was on the golf team, and UT Austin, where he studied Political Science and History. He comes to Texans for Stem Cell Research with a solid and diverse background in both the public and private spheres. From 1987 to 1991, David was a Medicaid Fraud Investigator with the Texas Attorney General's Office. From 1991 through 1993, he worked with the Texas Senate in the capacity of Research Director for the Nominations Committee. David joined Texans for Stem Cell Research in 2005, and has been both a Board Member and the Secretary before taking the position of Executive Director in 2007. He has also been a real estate agent in the Austin Metropolitan area for seven years, and currently works as a Petroleum Land Man as well.
Previously, David was an owner of Scholz Garten, the famous political watering hole. David's father, Larry Bales, was a State Representative in the early 1970's, and wrote the State's first significant ethics legislation under the trees at Scholz's, so you might say that David comes to us with politics in his blood.
