David, a CPA since 1995, graduated from the University of Louisville and began his career at Arthur Andersen, then the largest of the Big Six firms. His journey is marked by a rich tapestry of experiences; the eldest of two boys born to young parents from diverse backgrounds - one hailing from Korea, the other a proud farm boy from Indiana who served 21 years in the US Army.

Having lived across continents from Germany to Korea, and states from Kentucky to California, David settled in Illinois in 2008 to establish NRACPA. His career spans renowned entities like GE and dynamic entrepreneurial ventures, affording him invaluable insights into the growth trajectories of small to mid-sized businesses, from inception to multi-million dollar spin-offs. His hands-on experience sets him apart in the realm of public accounting, as he intimately understands the challenges and triumphs of businesses in this sector.

David's reputation precedes him; esteemed for his pragmatic advice delivered in straightforward language and his genuine care for his clients' welfare. He's an active member of the American Institute of CPAs and the Illinois CPA Society, boasting a stellar track record as one of the top registered investment advisors at Archer Investment Corp. Additionally, he holds an independent insurance license.

Beyond his professional pursuits, David finds fulfillment in family life as a devoted father of three. He revels in moments spent with loved ones, cheering on Louisville, Wisconsin, Purdue, and Baylor Athletics (representing his children's schools), indulging in travel adventures, perfecting his golf swing, and prioritizing fitness pursuits.
