Initially after graduating David joined with Young Life and directed and managed the start-up of the Wilson High School club in Portland Oregon. He recruited, trained and managed a volunteer staff that cared for over 150 kids. He was also responsible for fundraising the annual budget to pay for salaries, ministry expenses, and kid’s camp tuitions. In 2003 David and his wife Julie started Red Barn Nursery LLC a wholesale ornamental tree nursery in Boring Oregon. As a successful small business, Red Barn Nursery now employs 4 full-time employees that care for the day to day operations. David joined COUNTRY Financial in 2006 and had immediate success. In 4.5 years he was an All American Qualifier (Top Honor) 3 times, was the District Agent of the year, and ended in the top 5 out of 2,000 reps 2 times. Now as an independent representative David’s feeling of accomplishment and success comes from helping clients reach their financial goals and not from any company awards. David is passionate about helping clients navigate through their path to accomplish their financial dreams.

David is outnumbered 5 to 1 in his home with his wife Julie and their 4 daughters. As a once passionate outdoorsman and sports enthusiast, David has now learned how to sing every song from the movie Frozen and to let his daughters do his hair. David’s favorite activities are golfing, accomplishing a project on the weekend, and making up a new recipe in the kitchen.
