Host of the M&A Source Podcast

Communication is the most underestimated and commonly undervalued super power we have. This show helps us carry on conversations that matter between conferences, and it strives to raising the bar for our profession.

Here, we share wisdom and perspectives between members, tell stories, clarify the meaning of key concepts, get to know our ecosystem, and generally strengthen our tribe of mergers and acquisition professionals around the world. If our conferences are our proverbial bonfires, the our podcast and Webinars are our little campfires.

David has a history with media and communications. He produced his first film in 1994 as a way to reach young people with the message of not mixing alcohol and driving. With the help of the College of Charleston, the US Navy, and 22 other civilian and military organizations - including the Mayor of Charleston South Carolina, he produced a 22-minute film titled Images and Words, the other side of D.U.I.

He has since produced three podcast programs. His first was published in 2005 and was directed to a global audience of military healthcare leaders around the world when he served as the Chief for Defense Business Transformation for the Military Healthcare system. That show served as a tool to help him reach a global audience and speak with key leaders across time zones about the complexities of Business Transformation.

His second show was born from a need to take pressure off his inbox and share key concepts with members of the 501(c)3 he chaired from 2016-2023. That show expanded to a global audience from Maryland to Malaysia and today still gets hundreds of downloads per month.

He took over as host of the M&A Source podcast for Lamar Stanley in 2023 and serves as Committee Chair for the Podcast and Webinars committee.
