I love spending time with my family. I also enjoy weightlifting and hiking. I have hikes to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, across the Great wall of China as well as to the top of the Temple of 10,000 steps in China.

I love the connectivity of the real estate world, the hunt for the right property, the strategy of negotiations and the fulfillment of leaving behind a tangible legacy of my successful deal.

David’s success can be attributed to his strategic mindset, unwavering attention to detail, and passion for building strong, lasting relationships in every aspect of his work.
