Directors’ Stories

Kirk Davis – President
Kirk Davis was born and raised in Long Beach. With his wife Hilda Gaytan, he runs a successful contracting business.
Kirk served as Downtown Long Beach Lions Club President in 2013-14 and 2020-2021. He also served as Co-chair for the Coalition for a Healthy North Long Beach from 2014-2016. Kirk is also a founding board member of Puente Latino Association.
Kirk and Hilda have four children and three grandchildren. Two of his children, Jake and Emily, were born with congenital cataracts and the Downtown Long Beach Lions Club sponsored them for all their surgeries and eye care. Thanks to that club and LSH’s predecessor, the Southern California Lions Eye Institute (SCLEI), those kids are now happy and functional adults. His desire to serve on the LSH board is driven by the help his family received more than 25 years ago.
