David Kennedy will get it done. He’s the sort of person who is regularly up before dawn, thinks scaling frozen waterfalls is the best form of exercise, and maintains inbox zero. He’s a man with a plan, and he’ll gladly make one for you. With training in marketing and market research and a long history of community service, David has a passion for helping community organizations, particularly with brand, customer, and membership research. In his free time, he is on the board of the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative and plans complex international travel itineraries that can be assembled with airline miles. His small joys include trying that new coffee shop, getting out to ski this weekend, booking a flight to anywhere, and knocking out a few quick emails before doing any of those things.
