David bridges the gap between businesses and printing by bringing the two groups together through consulting and sharing in their business goals by making positive changes to their image.

With a background in journalism, David believes that communication and passion are keys to success in any pursuit. He enthusiastically questions his clients, in a quest to become as familiar with their business as the owners are. It is only then; he feels that he can truly understand their printing needs.

Referring to "community service" as an addiction-forming habit, David is thankful to be associated with a team that values friends and family as much as he does. One of his passions is spending time with his family, when not business networking, he values volunteering with various community organizations. Operation Red Nose is one organization that David highly values in terms of giving back to the community.
