About
With a career that spans marketing strategy, apparel design, and brand development, David brings the kind of thinking that makes brands move.
He's built campaigns from the ground up, designed clothing that carries culture, and led creative teams with the quiet confidence of someone who's always played the long game.
When he's not in the boardroom or the studio, you'll find him on the field — because the same competitive edge that made him a lifelong athlete is the one that makes his work impossible to ignore.
Approach
I was 8 years old when I started running. Not from anything — toward something. That's always been the difference. Sports taught me discipline before I knew the word for it, and creativity gave me somewhere to put it.
By the time I found my way into marketing and design, I realized I'd been doing the same thing my whole life: studying how things move, what makes people lean in, and how to make something that actually lasts.
That instinct is what I bring to every brand I work with. I know how to spot what's missing, build what's needed, and position a brand to move with the kind of confidence that can't be faked.Twenty years in, I'm still chasing something. Now I help brands chase it, too.
Services
Brand Strategy & Marketing Direction
From campaign concepting to full brand positioning, I help businesses find their edge and communicate it with intention.
Apparel Design & Creative Direction
End-to-end design for brands that want clothing with culture built in — not bolted on.
Speaking & Consulting
Whether it's a keynote, a workshop, or a working session with your team, I bring the kind of perspective that only comes from living at the intersection of sport, style, and strategy.

The Rule Book
01. Show up, then get ready.
02. Know the history or don't touch the culture.
03. A brand without a point of view is just noise.
04. The Cowboys were never America's Team.
05. If it doesn't move people, start over.
06. Discipline is the most creative thing you can practice.
07. Jordan. Not LeBron. Jordan. We're done here.
08. Everybody looks better in all black.
09. A fresh pair of shoes fixes more than therapy. (Get therapy too.)
