While operating his own graphic design studio for five years, David specialized in the hospitality industry and provided branding and graphic design services for many ByWard Market restaurants including: Suite 34, Fat Tuesdays and the Cornerstone.

Contacts in the design industry led David to make the move into digital printing and for two years he managed one of Ottawa's most technically advanced print shops. There he created (from the ground up) an automated process of online ordering, and job management. He also developed a "broker" program model that is used today as an example of how to run a successful printing business. David continued to bring innovation to the printing industry while running his own digital print business for 5 years.

After 15 years of developing contacts in the hospitality, design, and print industries, David has moved back to his true calling and provides Knock on Wood clients with specialized social marketing and media expertise
