He was raised with the values of perseverance and responsibility, which helped guide his path to an unwavering commitment to significantly impacting the world around him.
David attended California State University, Northridge, in 1980 to pursue finance.

This foundation paved the way for an extensive career in structured finance, defined benefit and 401 K investment strategies, affordable housing development, governmental advocacy, and philanthropy.

As a principal in multiple affordable housing development companies, Mr. Rubin has been responsible for completing and operating over 2,200 units across the United States.
In addition, David Rubin’s financial acumen led him and his family to become active operators in multiple companies. Ranging from Development companies such as Enhanced Affordable Housing to EDJCO, an active construction management and valuation company, and Accelfunding, an entity that uses tax strategy to generate additional equity for affordable housing transactions. This ability to develop financial engineering while effectuating social change places Mr. Rubin as a leader in multiple fields.

David Rubin has faced his share of adversity. In 2009, his wife Gail was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. David put his professional responsibilities on hold and scoured the country for cutting-edge, experimental medical treatments and protocols. He worked with the world’s best research hospitals, including the Salk Institute and UCLA.
After more than a decade of experimental treatments, faith in God, and never giving up, Gail became the longest-living survivor of metastatic pancreatic cancer in history. For 15 years, David remained by her side, proving that love, resilience, and hope can overcome even the greatest challenges. In 2024, Gail tragically lost her battle, but the Rubin family continues to be an inspiration for everyone who witnessed their journey.
