His long-time love for photography started at an early age, transforming 
into more than just a hobby. With a young entrepreneurial spirit starting 
in High School, David opened a sign design company. He designed signage for 
companies like Cultures, Don Cherries Sports Bar & Restaurant, 
Play-It-Again Sports and many others. David decided to continue growing in 
his passion by attending Niagara College for Marketing, in Niagara Falls 
Canada. After school, David quickly found himself immersed in world of Real 
Estate, working with a few dynamic individuals that soon became his mentors 
for the next decade. Working from a two Realtor basement office, David 
assisted in the growth of the company to 130 agents. Then tragedy struck 
one of his mentors, and David took this as a sign to explore more of the 
world. This opened the door for opportunities. As David started to travel 
abroad, he found new challenges and opportunities involving another of his 
passions, scuba diving. This lead to many great adventures, however none as 
great as becoming part of the team at Bans Diving, the world’s leader in 
diving certifications, where David took on the role of Sales Manager and 
facilitated the Divemaster Program. David learned the scuba business from 
industry world leaders (similar to real estate); and this lead him to work 
as a Sales Manager for a scuba equipment distribution company in Indonesia 
in charge of Bali and many of the surrounding islands. There David 
implemented their largest campaign to date, set up new dealers and launched 
a new in-store marketing campaign. Now after many years of traveling David 
and his wife Jessica have returned to Canada and have made Red Deer, 
Alberta their home. Jessica is following her passion too, and working on 
achieving her Masters of Library Sciences, as David starts his next 
professional adventure by helping businesses like yours grow and exceed
