About David

David is an account manager at Secure Ideas, maintaining client relationships within our service and education-focused culture. His professional background spans multiple disciplines. He spent a decade in bedside nursing, progressing from CNA to staff RN and ultimately to traveling RN, delivering direct patient care. Prior to that, he accumulated extensive sales experience across various roles, from selling shoes and appliances, to recruiting for his college, to selling real estate, and eventually working as a manufacturer’s representative. This diverse background has equipped him with a unique perspective to information security and valuable insights into project management, client relations, effective communication, and organizational efficiency.

He holds two bachelor’s degrees and maintains a strong interest in continuous learning and professional development. He used to play drums in an indie rock band. He drives a 1999 Toyota 4Runner. And sometimes his wife has to explain rap lyrics to him.
