DAVID IN 100 WORDS OR LESS
I started my architecture career in 2002 after graduating from BGSU with a BA in Architecture. I have been at ms for 3 years and am team leader of the ALDI Webberville Division. My wife Jen has a company, Little Bean Embroidery, where she embroiders, sews, and makes t-shirt quilts. When I’m not working you can find me at an ice rink watching our sons Weston, 6, and Cohen, 11. My daughter, Lilly, 14, will be a freshman in high school, and I’m looking forward to seeing her play tennis this fall. I’ve recently started my own company, Reclaimed Sticks, designing 3D hanging artwork that looks like team logos. It’s been fun, I not only enjoy working on the artwork but my artwork uses broken hockey sticks so I’m saving them from the landfills.
