About David A. Swoboda, DDS
Dr. Swoboda was born in Okinawa, Japan, where his father was stationed while in the military. His family returned to the States a year later, and after a short time in the Los Angeles area, they moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. Dr. Swoboda grew up in the East Bay and still lives today not far from his childhood home in Contra Costa County. He has two brothers. His older brother is a business owner in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and his younger brother is a dentist in Benicia, California. Growing up, Dr. Swoboda was active in a variety of team sports, including soccer, baseball, basketball and swimming. He went on to pursue competitive swimming at the collegiate level while attending Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. His athletic career led to an understanding about goal setting, discipline, determination, hard work, and the importance of team work. As a swim coach and soccer referee, he also strengthened his leadership skills. Throughout his school years, Dr. Swoboda also studied art, which helped to refine his artistic eye and hand skills. Today, as an amateur artist, he takes pride in his collection of artwork, and finds the many lessons learned from sports and art to be invaluable to his career as a dentist.
