David is passionate about Business, Sports, Binging captivating Series and is now becoming more and more of a Foodie.  Until the last 10 years of his career, David had spent the majority of his Business Life as an Entrepreneur founding and operating several companies.  Two such companies never got off the ground due to lack of funding but showed his unique ability to spot market trends.   David conceptualized a company he intended to call Our Company Club which was an electronic payment system with automatic loyalty rewards distributed each time a payment was made to a merchant on the network.  The electronic payment system doubled as a peer to peer payment system before Paypal and Zelle were around.  Another company that was in development before private funding ran out was the first daily and weekly fantasy sports platform.  This was before Draftkings and Fanduel revolutionized the industry.  It was to be called FSPPA short for Fantasy Sports Professional Players Association.  It was to combine a platform for fantasy sports enthusiasts to compete in live drafts for a single game or to set a duration in time to cover multiple games or weeks.  It also was going to have a sophisticated algorithm to rate players on all aspects of being the best Fantasy Sports Professional.  Furthermore, the software allowed for like minded community members to host videocasts and share the live and archived streams to other community members.  The plan was to share in advertising revenue to the digital creators.  This was before influencers were even a thing.  

Early in David’s entrepreneurial career he created a company called Sound Investment which was a database driven software program affiliates can use to share lead capture pages and co registration forms to their audience and share in the revenue generated from selling leads.  For many years, Sound Investment was generating and paying out on thousands of leads per week on its platform. 

Other companies David owned and operated were floor installs, floor and bath. Floor kitchen bath and Enscripted.  During his 8 years owning remodeling companies, David partnered with handpicked and vetted contractors to create outstanding results and many happy customers.  Here he continued to develop his operational prowess and ability to handle all other aspects of business from an owner’s perspective.  Enscripted was David putting his Software Architecture and Interface Design hats on again, and was born out of trying to ensure that Pain Management clinics run legitimately without Drug Diversion and doctor shopping.  David was contacted by a friend familiar with Sound Investment’s software and asked him to create a Medical Records software custom to a legitimate pain management clinic.  The software was built while the clinic was in operation adding features such as a national database tracking each specific location’s patients checking in to ensure they haven’t been to another location in the database within 30 days.  Other crucial features were random pill counts where the software would randomly select a percentage of each of the clinic’s patients each month and provide a patient list to contact for them to come in and then compare the amount of pills they should have with the amount of pills they have left in the bottle.  This prevented patients who were abusing or selling the medication from continuing to be seen.  

After Enscripted, David spent 6 months in the Philippines vacationing while considering his next move.  In 2013 while in the Philippines, David received a call from a friend who was the GM of a Structured Settlement company that paid people up front cash in return for some or all of their annuities.  David returned home and started Rightway Funding  when there were only 10 people but with his processes and operational skills, the company quickly grew the sales office to over 70 people.  The business thrived for over 9 years until a few years after the Pandemic.  Due to some differences in opinions between the owners on whether to utilyze David to deploy some advanced analytical tools to help create a blueprint of what the successful sales people were doing as far a work ethic and strategy by using data from our dialer and pbx, David left when the owners didn’t want to take a proactive approach to deal with the challenges to the industry brought on by the Pandemic.   

In 2023 David joined Savor Our City as Director Of Operations to streamline operations and help scale the business to its full potential.  David really enjoys working in such a “fun” industry with Denise and the rest of the growing team and anticipates this will be the last stop in his professional career.
