David was born in Juarez, Mexico, on the border with El Paso, Texas. He graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Business Administration. In 1996, David began his first management position as CFO of a small struggling computer reselling business.  In six months, David negotiated a new $3M line of credit and implemented a new accounting system, called Great Plains, which became Microsoft Dynamics GP.  David moved on to work for a staffing company that wanted to implement GP.  David helped this company grow from $2M in sales to over $15M in sales over seven years, by implementing and managing the IT systems that enabled the company to expand into staffing for both temporaries and leased employees. David worked as a Financial Systems Manager for a publicly traded company with operations in the US and Canada that also used Dynamics GP.  He was the in-house Dynamics GP administrator and instructor.  One day, David received a call from a Microsoft partner that asked him if he had ever thought about becoming a consultant.  They gave him an offer he couldn't refuse. He is now the CEO of Vital IT Partners.
