Where Are They Now? David Tingstad


David Tingstad is another example of the fine young men that Boise State football coach Skip Hall brought to Boise.  Let's review Tingstad's time at Boise State and catch up on what David has been doing since graduating from Boise State.

Tingstad broke in with the team as a freshman in 1989, carrying 8 times for 25 yards and scoring his first collegiate touchdown on a reception, one of 5 catches he had for 54 yards that season.  In 1990, David played a large role on the Bronco team that reached the Division I-AA Semi-Finals, serving as a devastating blocker for tailback Chris Thomas while also rushing for 210 yards on 73 carries and a touchdown.  Tingstad also caught 18 passes for 118 yards.

In 1991, David was the second-leading rusher (85 carries for 306 yards and a touchdown) and also caught 32 passes for 215 yards and 5 scores.  As a senior, he led the Broncos with 303 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 81 carries, caught 20 passes for 150 yards and scored two two-point conversions.

In 2011, Tingstad stands as the 27th-leading career rusher (844 yards) in school history and ranks fourth among fullbacks, behind #1 David Hughes (1,826), Abe Brown (1,189) and Ken Johnson (1,074).

David graduated magna cum laude from Boise State in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics.  From there, he went to the Seattle University School of Law and graduated cum laude in his class. 



David joined Beresford Booth PLCC Law Firm in 1995 and was admitted to the practice of law for the Western District of Washington in the U.S. District Court the following year.  Tingstad has extensive experience in the areas of business and real estate transactions, limited liability companies, corporations, real property and estate planning. Dedicated to assisting entrepreneurs and business owners, David provides significant value-added services on a practical, as well as strictly legal basis. Known as a deal-maker, rather than a deal-breaker, what separates David from many other business lawyers is his ability to 1) organize diverse client objectives into a strategic plan, and 2) get things done.

Tingstad specializes in Business, Real Estate and Estate Planning and belongs to the American Bar Association and the Washington State Bar Association.  As a member of the Washington State Bar Partnership Law Committee, David is currently working to revise Washington's Limited Liability Company Statute.  He is also a member of the Committee on LL's, Partnerships and Unincorporated Entities.  Tingstad has published the following articles:  "Limited Liability Companies and Limited Liability Partnerships in Washington" (2001, 2003 and 2007), "The Probate Process from Start to Finish in Washington" (2000) and "2010 Legislation and Other Recent Developments: Essentials, Overview, and Strategic Insights".

David regularly speaks to groups of attorneys, professional organizations and business and community associations.   

And as you might expect a Skip Hall-coached Bronco to do, Tingstad gives back to his community.  He is a Sunday School teacher and coaches youth football, basketball and baseball.
