Hello, I'm a storyteller.

My name is David Plutado Fugate. I am a father, storyteller, and engineer.

I believe in the power of storytelling to bring people together, spark understanding, and drive meaningful change in the world. My work centers on creating inclusive narratives that reflect diverse perspectives and serve the common good. Guided by vision, care, and responsibility, I use story not to protest or oppose, but to build, propose, and inspire solutions. I focus on progress — highlighting how to move projects forward through collaboration, strategic action, and effective execution. Storytelling, for me, is a tool for connection, persuasion, and transformation.

I’m driven by a shared purpose: to contribute to a more just and compassionate world, beginning with how we show up for ourselves and each other.

The video essay of my origin story is coming soon.
