David began his career in the financial services industry in the field of public accounting in 1991.  It was in 1996 that his interest in finance led him to a position with Morgan Stanley where he developed his fundamental investment knowledge.  After eight years with the firm, David left to join Mass Mutual where he expanded his practice adding insurance, estate and business planning to his investment practice.  In 2014, David had the opportunity to join Fortress Financial and work alongside Financial Advisors, Jeff Shirk and John Shirk, providing personalized financial advice to individuals and their families.

David grew up in Ocean City and attended Rowan University where he graduated in 1990 with a degree in Accounting.  David's love for the community is obvious as he moved back to the area after college to start his practice and raise his family.  David is active in the community and currently serves on the board of the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce.

David and his wife Kendra have three children, Jordan, Alaina and Andrew.  When he can, he likes to spend time on the beach or in the mountains with his family.
