InfoDavid Wilkerson is the son of Sergeant First Class Richard and Helen Wilkerson and was born in Fort Dix, New Jersey. He gained his love of public service from his father, Richard, who after retiring from the Army, started and operated the John Addison Wilkerson (JAWS) Memorial Boys Club in Virginia, named in memory of his own father.

A product of public schools, David was an Eastman Kodak Scholar and graduated summa cum laude from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University with a degree in Accounting.
