Family & Community

Dr. Hastings has been happily married to his wonderful wife, Alma, for 32 years. They met 35 years ago while completing their undergraduate degrees. While Dr. Hastings pursued his doctorate in Chiropractic, Alma earned her Masters of Science Degree in Counseling. They established their careers before starting their family, and years later were blessed with their two amazing daughters, Amanda (25) and Olivia (22).

Amanda earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University, College Station, completing her degree in just three years. She simultaneously completed real estate courses and is now an active local realtor with Keller Williams in Boerne, serving the community she calls home. Olivia is a recent graduate from Texas Tech University's Rawls College of Business in Lubbock, where she earned dual degrees in Business Management and Business Marketing. Both daughters exemplify the values their parents instilled—dedication to education, pursuit of excellence, and commitment to their communities.

Our family puts God, our Lord, first, and David and Alma are extremely proud of their daughters and encourage them to pursue high academia and follow their interests and talents. The Hastings family is highly involved together, as family is of the utmost importance. Dr. Hastings supported and was actively involved in all his daughters' activities since their youth, from Amanda's six years of club volleyball, four years of high school varsity volleyball, and two years of varsity track, to Olivia's involvement with dance, art, and leadership roles in high school organizations.
