Beyond the Boardroom

When David's not on stage or closing deals, he's chasing finish lines and summit markers.

Ultrarunning

There's a moment around mile 40 where the body says stop and the mind has to take over. David brings that same grit to every stage and every deal. Ultramarathons aren't just a hobby — they're where he pressure-tests the mindset he teaches.

Climbing

From granite walls to alpine scrambles, climbing demands total presence — one move at a time, no shortcuts. It's the same philosophy David brings to leadership: trust the process, stay committed, and keep moving up.
