In his more than 20 years as a consultant, trainer, and coach for the Ariel Group, he has delivered leadership development programs for nonprofit organizations up to Fortune 500 companies.

A believer in life-long learning, David’s most recent skill acquisitions are the Italian language and circular breathing with the Australian Didgeridoo!
