Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, David graduated from Saint John High School before earning a Business degree from Saint Mary’s University. He began his career as a loan officer with CIBC, then transitioned into a financing role of sport utility vehicle dealerships on the East Coast of Canada. He discovered his true calling in automotive sales, where he thrived as a high performer. He eventually settled in Calgary, Alberta, and built a successful career serving customers at various dealerships until his retirement. When David first arrived in Calgary, he quickly formed many new and lasting friendships at the legendary Studio Café & Pub. A passionate sports enthusiast, he played hockey on various teams growing up and enjoyed playing football for Saint John High School. He remained a lifelong, die-hard fan of the Montreal Canadiens and a dedicated supporter of the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders.
